Solitude Mortar Works
Used to have a mod on Oldrim called 'Blue Palace is blue', I couldn't find it so I made it for myself. Then I kept going and fixed some marble and flooring, then I kept going and fixed some stucco around solitude. Then I decided their should be stucco options.So now I guess I'll share it.
Just for the lore of it:
Every City has a Smithy, and multiple towns have a Smithy and a mill. Skyrim has Miners, Merchants, Hospitality services, Shipping Industries, Farming and established educational institutions where one can go learn 4 songs. But what is very clearly lacking are Masons (especially since 3 of the 4 main cities are stone). Yes, I know you have to quarry stone in Hearthfire, but doesn't it seem like someone should already be doing that?
So enters Solitude Mortar Works; specializing in Plaster, Stucco, Stonecutting, Painting, and General Contracting services. Because "Skyrim is a hard enough land without worrying about the roof over your head"
But, "why are all the walls blue"..you ask? Well because we make our paint from the pigments of ground Deathbell and Blue mountain flower, both of which are abundant around Haafingar and Solitude...of course! Sure, there are other flowers out there that offer other colors, but the pigment and properties of Deathbell have proven to be very durable and resistant to fading over time.
So there you go Lore Fanatics!
Eventually I would like to expand this mod to actually add npc's that quarry and provide stone work/construction services utilizing elements of hearthfire. But no plans set in stone yet.
"No...at this time, Solitude Mortar Works is not staffed and does not add a location in Skyrim, It does not add actual construction services. Solitude Mortar Works also does not add Quests, Magic, Wenches, Plumbers, Brothels, Baths, or Blackjack."
This is just a texture replacer People!
Textures are all 2k (standard HD).
Use Main File AIO or Optionals, you dont need both.
The exterior stucco optionals overwrite each other, so pick only one.
Bad example:
Optional Blue Palace + Optional patched Stucco + Optional Old World Stucco = bad times!
Gives you the default look of the AiO. Because the patched stucco file would be overwritten.
Good Example:
Optional Blue Palace + Optional Patched or New stucco = goodtimes!
Solitude interior Stucco (sstuccowall_int01.dds) is a shared texture set for all interiors. So they will all turn blue.
Hope to have a fomod up soon. For now just download the file combination you want.
Texture Replacer. No ESP's or load slots. Totally safe to add or remove mid playthrough.
