A mesh replacer for Skyrim's rock cairns. It updates the shape of them and fixes texture seams, while keeping them in a vanilla style.

Author notes
The meshes that I've altered here are the vanilla meshes and so please feel free to use them for your mods (Skyrim SE/AE/LE only) so long as you credit me for the work I've done. In a future update I'm hoping to add some textures by other mod authors and so permissions to use those textures will be required from those authors before you can use them in your projects.

Hi everyone!
This mod overhauls Skyrim's rock cairns to be less blocky, more rocky (sorry about the rhyme), and with less obvious errors (seams) in the mesh's UVs. You could say it SMIMs the cairns.
This release is called 'slightly Better Rock Cairns' because it's a performance version of a mod I'm working on that'll be (you guessed it) 'Better Rock Cairns'. When I began overhauling the cairns in Blender, I added a lot more rocks and changed some of the current models. I quickly realised that that made the meshes complex to the point where they were quite a bit bigger than vanilla. So, I made this version as a performance version. The more detailed cairns will be added soon, and you can test them on your rig if you'd like. The 'slightly Better Rock Cairns' shouldn't give you any real performance drops.
This is a mesh replacer only (at present) and therefore should work with any texture replacers you use. Install and uninstall at any point without any ill effects for your save.
Update 1.3 contains a mesh created by Kless Gyzen. It is used in accordance with a CC0 licence and was provided by Polyhaven.com.
