As impressive as Baldurs Gate already looks,
I thought the grounds could need some improvements, especially more shading.
1k textures are the same size as originals, the whole set got even some smaller.
2k contains several normal and specularity maps in higher resolution,
Best Choice is a balanced combination of the two with an eye on performance and visuals;)

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,136 endorsements and over 350k downloads
- Choose between 1k and 2k to balance performance and quality
- Works with both Vulkan and DirectX, so no renderer worries
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers ground and terrain—no other texture categories
- No screenshots or detailed previews in the description
- Last updated in December 2025, but no changelog or version notes
For Skyrim players who want sharper ground textures without a huge performance hit. If you're already using a comprehensive texture pack, this might be redundant. Skip if you're looking for a full visual overhaul—this is purely terrain.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Pick the 1k version if you're on a mid-range GPU to keep FPS stable.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to easily switch between 1k and 2k.
- Load this mod early in your load order so other texture mods can overwrite it if needed.
