📋 About This Mod
As the name suggests, this is a simple texture mod that adds a new cobblestone texture to the Imperial City & bridges.
While modding oblivion myself I found several great texture mods that enhanced the Imperial City, but I couldn't find a
mod that had a cobblestone texture I liked.
The concept was to make it in that same fanned style as the vanilla texture, I liked how it kind of made you follow the road with your eyes - but I wanted it also to be made out of the same stone as the buildings were made out of; you get the idea that maybe this is what the Ayleids did with the smaller stones they had left over in thier quarries.
There are two versions; one in a greyer style with darker brown mud; this fits well with the vanilla textures and is the version I liked, however I noticed it didn't fit well with some other mods so I made a second version with a more reddish-brown hue that may go better with some setups - the choice is yours!
Available in 4k, 2k or 1k sizes
(I don't notice much of a difference between 4k and 2k while playing at 4k, but the option is there).
Should work with everything!
v. 1. 0 - Initial Release
v. 1. 1 - Added Parallax Occlusion
v. 1. 2 - Alpha Bugfix
v1. 3 - "White-Gold" release - Stones have been re-toned to match the rest of the IC's stonework, extra texture and specular highlights have been added, mud has been made a darker brown and colour noise has been removed from the gravel, extra leaves & moss has been added to add visual flair, plus brand new 4k Normal Maps have been added! - check the screenshots for a comparison to v1. 2.
(Note: You need the meshes from QTP3 to enable parallax, specifically those from "Meshes/Architecture/ImperialCity", and/or Oblivion Reloaded.)
If you'd like to use this mod in your mod and/or mod compilation, drop me a message beforehand so I can take a look at what you want to do with it.
Also crediting me would be appreciated, thanks.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid download-to-endorsement ratio (5,298 downloads, 172 endorsements) shows it's being used and appreciated
- Parallax support adds depth without needing a full texture overhaul
- Aimed at lore-friendly consistency—good for players who want vanilla+ visuals
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in January 2020—might be outdated for current Skyrim versions, though texture mods are usually stable
- Only covers cobblestone in the Imperial City and bridges—not a comprehensive texture pack
- No screenshots or install instructions in the description, so you're flying blind until you test it
For Skyrim players who want a subtle, lore-friendly texture upgrade for the Imperial City without changing the game's overall look. Skip if you're after a full texture overhaul or if you don't care about parallax.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—no special load order needed for a texture replacer.
- Parallax effects require a compatible ENB or shader setup; if you don't use one, the mod still works but without the depth effect.
- Since it's a texture replacer, it's safe to uninstall anytime—your game will revert to vanilla textures.
