Unfortunately, the 3D models for all of the lesser seen or perhaps just neglected parts of the game seem to have received quite a bit less attention in the transition. This mod aims to fix that. It goes in and replaces over 900+ models in nearly 30,000 placements in the game with better static meshes to give them an overall better quality look.
