It wasn't the new, or bright textures I meant, but the lack of scattered clutter - the things someone just put down, because they haven't yet found the right place for them (and probably never will). Perhaps I should have said it was too tidy, rather than too clean.
That's always my problem when I'm making homes for the games. I have to consciously go and add more irrelevant stuff to make the places look like someone lives there. A few loose coins on a table near the front door, where someone emptied their pockets of small change. A book on the bedside table. Something that got knocked off a shelf (Oblivion's havok settings would often do that one for you). A kid's room looks uninhabited if it's tidy!
I seem to remember a TES alliance cluttering service back when we were all making Oblivion mods. "Experts" would add more junk to your houses to make them look more lived-in.
