About this mod
Adds reflection to silver plates, forks, pitchers etc. (only clutter items, doesn\'t touch weapons or armor) New: The goldware added by some mods (e.g. OOO) now gets the same treatment.

Better Silverware and Goldware
==============================
by Fearabbit
1. Description "Better Silverware":
A simple texture and mesh replacer for Oblivion's silverware, i.e. all silver dishes (forks, plates, knives, pitchers, ...).
It makes the textures darker and adds a reflection to the mesh to get the effect of a dark, polished material. I think it's very close to the actual look of silver.
2. Description "Better Goldware":
Some mods add golden versions of the silver dishes to the game - one popular example is Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul (OOO). The only difference is that the base texture is yellow, not gray. I'm not a big fan of those, but using my texture replacer for silverware, they look even worse in comparison.
So here's a similar replacer for those. Only use this one if you have OOO or another mod that adds golden dishes, specifically if their meshes can be found in the folder Oblivion\Data\meshes\clutter\FineWare. These are the ones that will be replaced.
One note of warning: The silverware was already difficult to get right, but gold is even worse. It may not look like you would expect (and from the distance, you might not be able to see the difference between golden and silver dishes at first).
3. Installation (for both Better Silverware and Better Goldware):
Extract to Oblivion/Data and overwrite any existing files if necessary.
