📋 About This Mod
This is a repackaging of Book Jackets Oblivion High Res, to be in a BAIN-friendly archive. One file has unmodified plugins, the other had its plugins cleaned with TES4Edit 4. 0. 4c and all relevant bash tags applied. This latter file also has a filter version of the ESPs for the bashed patch, for maximum compatibility with the Knights of the Nine Official DLC and the Unofficial Oblivion Patch (no cell edits). As of version 1. 3, the meshes in the main file have been optimised/PyFFied for improved performance, thanks to Aklamahaknyaen.
Consult the readmes in 00 Core Assets\Docs to see what each sub-package does.
It does not include the DLC or KOTN book jackets. You still need to install them separately. For the full book jackets experience, install the following mods in this order:
-
[]Book Jackets Oblivion High Res BAIN (this mod)
[
]Grimbots DLC Book Jackets (both files)[]Book Jackets KOTN
[]Book Jackets KOTN HD update
[]Book Jackets for Misc DLC
[]TD_Alternative Books Cover (I install TD_Alternative Books Cover on top of the previous book mods, as it also covers newspapers, scrolls, letters, parchments, crumpled pieces of paper and also book pages. It will also retexture the books that any mods add that are still using the vanilla base models (such the books added by the mod The Elder Scrolls Online Imports)).

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 589 endorsements and over 121k downloads—clearly a go-to for book texture overhauls.
- BAIN packaging means Wrye Bash users can install and manage it without hassle.
- Last updated in 2023, so it's still maintained and likely compatible with modern setups.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Wrye Bash to take full advantage of the BAIN format—if you don't use it, you'll need to manually extract.
- Only covers book jackets, so if you want other texture improvements, you'll need additional mods.
For Oblivion players who use Wrye Bash and want high-res book textures without the hassle of manual installation. Perfect for immersion-focused modders who appreciate reading in-game books. Skip if you're not into texture overhauls or prefer all-in-one packs.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using Wrye Bash, just drop the archive into your 'Bash Installers' folder and activate it—no manual extraction needed.
- If you don't use Wrye Bash, you can still extract the files manually, but watch for folder structures to place them correctly in your Data folder.
- Check the mod's comments section for any user-reported compatibility notes with other texture mods.
