Is there a way to use N>VH map skins in Ult?

I mainly just want to use the N>VH mines skin in Ult, because the colorful version is way better than the boring green version. And maybe do the same for forest as well.
Is there a way?
 
Yes! But it's a process. It would be a matter of exporting and then importing the textures from the normal map variants into the ultimate variants. But with that being said, ultimate mode has a bit more than just texture changes, they also usually include lighting/fog changes and different object textures that are shared between normal and ultimate (for example; changing the big stones texture that you find in Caves 1 used to block paths are shared between normal and ultimate mode, so changing it's texture affects both modes).
 
you can't copy paste and rename the normal maps over ult versions?

thought this was accomplished in a similar fashion on gamecube many years ago

It depends! But in most cases I would say that doesn't work 100% accurately just based off what I've seen in those files. Most ultimate textures files usually have slightly differently placed textures in the list or the addition of additional textures that would throw the whole list off it you were to just rename the file. I believe this process is possible with Forest 1 and 2 between N-VH and ULT though from what I remember, that's the only instance I can think of.
