About this mod
Fixes an issue with Skyrim 3D Misc by mathy79, wherein chopping blocks in snowy/ashy areas (and those used for execution) are remapped with vanilla textures that do not work with the new mesh's UV map. New textures for snowy chopping blocks, ashy chopping blocks, and bloody chopping blocks, and a plugin that maps them.

The best way to see what this mod does is just to look at the images. If you use Skyrim 3D Misc without this or something similar, chopping blocks in Solstheim or snowy regions (and a few bloody execution blocks throughout the world) will look really messed up. The game uses the same mesh for every type of chopping block, and simply swaps the textures at runtime via the plugins Skyrim.esm and Dragonborn.esm. But S3D Misc doesn't replace those textures, it only has a texture for the normal chopping block. And regardless, the plugin remaps the logs with generic tree bark textures, so redoing those for a different UV map would mess up a lot of other things.
The only way to deal with this issue is to either simply turn off texture remapping in the mesh (or disable the texture set in a plugin) or to define new texture sets and make new textures for this UV map. I wanted to keep the unique snowy/ashy/bloody chopping blocks so I chose the latter.
Strictly speaking this is a bug fix/patch but since it contains my original work on top of mathy79's, you need his permission too if you want to repurpose or reupload this mod.

- ESL flagged plugin. Yes, it is necessary. It doesn't count towards your load limit and there would be no reason to load it for a zEdit patcher or anything like that.
- Extremely unlikely to conflict with anything at all.
- Requires Skyrim 3D Misc (obviously) — this is not a replacement for the chopping block & axe package from Skyrim 3D Misc. You have to install both mods.
- You should make sure you're actually using the chopping block meshes from Skyrim 3D Misc, and not overwriting them with some other mod. Specifically you want to make sure you're using these meshes from S3D Misc: woodchoppingblock.nif, woodchoppingblockanimating.nif, and choppingblock01.nif. If you're not using those meshes, this mod will just mess up your chopping blocks.
