📋 About This Mod
Another fairly straightforward Upscale and touch up of the vanilla textures for the Citadel set. I have gone through each texture manually and remade parts that did not scale well and then redid normal maps to match. Hopefully it looks fairly consistent. Rubble piles are included as well and these are used all around the wasteland.
A simple retexture of the Citadel set for Skyrim, offering a fresh look to the armor without altering its shape. With 110 endorsements and over 130k downloads, it's a popular choice for players seeking a visual upgrade. Last updated in October 2024, it remains a reliable cosmetic option.
