Better Beast Races Skyrim texture mod by Xenius.

Description:  This mod gets rid of the angular shapes of the beast races (Argonian & Khajiit) caused by compressed object space normal maps.

The following object space normal maps will be replaced: head, mouth, hands, body.

For these races it was a lot harder to do than the human and elven races, due to all the small details of fur and scales. I did my best to keep the loss of detail at a minimum.

The new updated version also adds more detailed diffuse- and specular maps.
Now this mod is like a combination of "No More Blocky Faces", "Detailed Faces"
and "Detailed Bodies" for the beast races.
