[SSE] Better Mead & Ale Bottles

[Waffenbaum]

I cannot for the life of me understand how there are 4k textures/model replacers for everything from giant toes to ants, but none for the alcohol which the nords spend so much of their time talking about.

Every guard will tell you how he would be a lot warmer and a lot happier with a belly full of mead, but the mead itself is a misshapen, uninviting brown mess with a label that looks like it was fished right out of the sea (and either blank or with crayola scribbles that doesn't inspire confidence).

It's even worse when you know that extremely popular brands like Honningbrew Meadery and Black-Briar Mead would be able to afford decent quality bottles and labels for their products, which can be found in the halls of Jarls.

Yes there are a few texture mods and while leaps and bounds above the vanilla bottles and labels, there are really none I would consider to be the of same standard as something scratch-made.

 

I'm really hoping someone will glance at this and think, "Hey, this sounds like an overlooked part of the game" because they'd be right. With the amount of alcohol the nords drink, isn't it time their love for the drinks is displayed through the quality of their containers? To anyone reading this - thanks for considering.
