📋 About This Mod
I spent an embarrassing amount of time getting these to look somewhat decent. The vanilla Diffuse texture is far too small and looks awful in game and the normal map was almost as bad.
So I made these based on the vanilla designs, gave them a small amount of transparency in places (it stands to reason that the foil on the back of these would have degraded a lot in 200 years). I tried to make them look as in keeping with the games art direction as possible and all the smashed parts are in exactly the same places as the vanilla texture. They look as close to glass as my talents and the games renderer allow and are still a decent upgrade over vanilla.
2k diffuse and normal for this as its split into 4 parts so each pane actually is 1k in game.
New in V2. 0 is support for Real time Reflections Looks amazing with screen space reflections as well if you cant spare the performance hit of the full real time ones.
A compact texture mod that replaces the broken mirror textures in Skyrim with improved versions, making them look less awful. With 403 endorsements and over 417k downloads, it's a popular quality-of-life visual fix for players bothered by the default mirror appearance.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (417k) — clearly a go-to for mirror fixes.
- 403 endorsements show solid community approval.
- Does exactly what it says: makes broken mirrors look less awful.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects broken mirrors — if you wanted other reflective surfaces fixed, this isn't it.
- Last updated May 2024 — might not be compatible with future Skyrim updates or mods that alter mirror meshes.
For Skyrim players who notice the ugly broken mirrors in dungeons and ruins and want a quick visual upgrade without overhauling their whole texture setup. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or if you don't care about mirror aesthetics.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager — no load order worries.
- If you use a texture overhaul like Skyrim 202X, this mod will override the mirror textures, so install it after to ensure it takes effect.
- Check the mod's images (if any) before installing to see if the new mirror look matches your preferred aesthetic.
