📋 About This Mod
http://morrowind.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=19510
This mod adds a reflection effect to most of the windows in the game similar to (but in my opinion better looking than) Oblivion. Currently, only exterior windows are effected but in the future I will be adding this effect to interiors as well. All exterior windows are done in all expansions EXCEPT for dunmer style "amber" windows; I will get to these, and then I will do the "windows glow" night time versions of the windows.
Awhile back I made a request thread on the Bethsoft forums. In that thread, I wondered why no one had added reflect maps to the windows in the game and I came to the conclusion that no one had thought of it, but now I am beginning to suspect it is more because this kind of work is incredibly tedious!
Thanks to help and advice from Chaka, Chainy, AOF, Fallen One, and Dirnae I've learned how to apply what I think are some attractive reflect and bump maps to .nifs. Now all that is left to be done is go through every single mesh with a window in the game and apply the appropriate maps to each.
This mod uses textures created by Colt17 and Gemini and all of the bump maps are based on their textures.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 299 endorsements and 5,674 downloads
- Improves visual quality by adding realistic window reflections

⚠️ Cons

For Skyrim players who want to enhance the game's visual fidelity without heavy performance hits. If you're a modder looking for a simple, subtle improvement to window surfaces, this is a solid pick. Skip if you prefer gameplay over graphics or use a mod setup that conflicts with texture overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a texture/mesh mod, place it in your load order after other texture overhauls to ensure its effects apply.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install it manually and let the manager handle file conflicts.
- Test in a city like Whiterun to see the reflections; if they don't appear, check for conflicts with lighting mods.
