you could retexture those

you could retexture those rocks with the same texture the pillar rocks uses, so that it matches the surroundings

You will have to find out

You will have to find out what texture is used on the other rocks, which can't be done using this method since the info is in the nif. Ask someone like happychappy mehh digital or eloth if you dont have nifskope or tes5edit. or you could just go through each one and try them one by one.

Once you know which texture it is you edit the NEW object you just made like this

right click

double click

enter the texture name or a part of the name

find the correct textures

 

dont forget to save if you did it correctly.

youll have to do this for each texture on each rock piece you are using

I've live in a coastal rocky

I've live in a coastal rocky town and beach, so inspired by my surroudings.

I've been thinking about some barnacle and sea weed moss rocks and also some rock pools.

These are just experiments, probably not quite right, but the idea is to place them on water lines of some of the small islands around sheogorad and azura coast.

would make the water less aqua, same colour as ocean.

So fill em up! Some more

So fill em up! Some more rocks shroom trees, those pillar type rocks are called menhirs many of them (in real life) are put into patterns and whatnot presumably for some sort of religious purposes, sheogorad being inhabited mainly by bandits vampires and religious zealots this would make sense,  to clarify I'm talkin like Stonehenge type patterns maybe you can throw in some stuff like that, also those rocks are spread out under the shoreline as well (except by Dagon fel) making it a dangerous place for ships and boats maybe you can add some more shipwrecks or shored fisherman boats or abandoned camps of shipwreck survivors or something, just throwing some ideas your way! Also that darn Eloth always being right, let me rephrase myself as the rest of sheogorad looks a little barren no grass for example as you pointed out, so I guess no moss what I was getting at was Algae? On the rocks by the shore
