Stalactites to make your rock caves look more interesting! There are 42 new meshes, and these are retextures of the vanilla icicles so they can be used in rocky caves. The meshes with a "cw" in the end of the name use cave wall textures, the ones without it use cave rock textures and have a more crystalline surface (some real world stalactites have a crystalline look because of calcite crystals).I have not included the textures and cubemaps, since these meshes use vanilla stuff and the game should recognize them automatically. This is a modders resource and they are not in-game yet, I have included an .esp file for evaluation purposes. If you want to check how they look, extract and activate stalactiteTEST.esp to your game "Data" folder, with the new meshes of course. Launch Skyrim, then use the console and type "coc AAteststalactite" to go to a cave with the crystalline stalactites, "coc AAteststalactiteCW" for a cave with the rocky ones and "coc AAteststalactite" for a sulphur cave.

The magic realm of Sungarde, a tropical landscape for Skyrim. According to the legends, as the earliest tribes of ancient nords roamed through the northern coast of Skyrim, they found groups of druids summoning mage portals to a place that was said to be always "warm and moist", and "the season never changes".Their reports suggest that the Dwemer had been there before, and they left magnificent structures made of rock, just like Nchuand-Zel, the place that would become the city of Markarth. Historic records tell us that the ancient nords managed to colonize the place for a while, but somehow they all disappeared. The tales about the "Land of Eternal Summer" were forgotten for centuries. But now, one of the mage portals was discovered in the north coast... WARNING: Latest versions requires Dragonborn DLC. If you don´t have the expansion, you should stick to version 1.2. ********************************************************************** FEATURES ********************************************************************** The quest script did not work and I cannot afford to work much more in this mod, so I decided to release it as a "free-to roam" area. You will be able to dialogue and interact with some of the NPCs. Sungarde is made of: -9 landmasses (Bonebreaker Valley, B´zanf excavation site, Western Rocklands, Pantanalia Wetlands, Western Nord Valey, Southern Nord Valley, Johantal temple complex, B´zanf Dam and dried-up reservoir). -29 dungeon cells (6 caves, 13 nord ruins, 6 mixed Nord/cave ruins and 4 dwemer). Remember: all dungeons with more than one level have a magic portal that will bring you back to the wilderness at its end. Korzumjund, Yuhal and Karhuass are one-way dungeon crawls: once you start, you must go to the end!!! The cave of Korzumjund is 2nd level now: changed its 1st dungeon cell -NPCs that will give you information: .Ralfyr in Bonebreaker valley .druid master Klarissmund in western rocklands .Ma´luf khajit smuggler in Southern Nord Valley .Dremora outcast in Western Nord Valley .Anchieta (a vigilant of Stendarr) in Pantanalia -Ma´luff and the dremora outcast will buy and sell things. I included an extra file in which I removed the palm trees that have been causing trouble to some. _New meshes from: ANGILLA, BAD GREMLIN, DIGITAL LION, ELINEM, GA-KNOMBOE, INSANITY SORROW, OARISTYS & TONY67, TAMIRA, VICN, TIER1DUSTY and some stuff of mine. ****************************************************************************************** KNOWN BUGS/ISSUES ****************************************************************************************** -One of the new tree trunk meshes has no collision property. I´ll fix this soon. -there is a spot in the landmass in which my char "swam" in the air for a while (NOTE: I only experienced this bug in my notebook, not in my PC. Please report if this happens to you.) -CTD: they may occur (see "compatibility issues" for details about this problem). For unknown reasons, some player chars render the mod more stable than others.PLEASE REPORT IF CRASHES ARE PERSISTENT. YOU SHOULD REPORT ANY BUG/GLITCH/ISSUE YOU MAY FIND.REMEMBER THAT I REALLY NEED SOME FEEDBACK. ****************************************************************************************** COMPATIBILITY ISSUES ****************************************************************************************** -If you use the mod GKB-GREEN-TREES you should disable its .esp file. Although my mod uses some of its meshes, there is a conflict with the .esp file. -This mod WILL NOT WORK AT ALL if you have too many other mods in your loading list. I cannot say for sure how many mods and which ones (EXCEPT FOR THE ONE I MENTIONED BEFORE) Sungarde will "get along with", but I tested it in BOTH my PC and my notebook, and managed to solve the stability issues just by unchecking several .esp´s from the mods I use in my loading list. Keep in mind that Skyrim is a buggy game, and its Creation Kit is even buggier, so it was NOT my fault.To play my mod, you should activate only the most necessary ones (remember that the mods that change something in the vanilla worldspaces and interiorswill make no difference in the realm of Sungarde). ****************************************************************************************** INSTALLATION ****************************************************************************************** -All versions of the mod here in TESALLIANCE should be downloaded and installed in the right order. -Extract the "Data" folder in this mod to your "The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim" folder.Click "yes" when it asks to overwrite. -Add a check to Sungarde.esp in your Skyrim Launcher screen to activate the mod... and play!!! ****************************************************************************************** Credits ****************************************************************************************** ALIENSLOF- The new skeever and sabrecat textures GA-KNOMBOE- the new trees HANAISSE- The gate to Oblivion JSNIDER193- The new nord ruin tileset and the "scaly one" texture MUPPETMUPPET- New trees and foliage OARISTYS- The new skeletons SCOTT- The new deer, panda and troll textures, and the bamboo.
