📋 About This Mod
By Aiyen
If you do have a super awesome idea on yet another alternative version then I am also all ears!
The 2k version: 2k DXT5 compressed diffuse and normal map as well as a 1k DXT1 compressed reflection mask.
I will not be uploading a 1k version since imo the amount of detail I have put in gets a bit too washed out.. especially the normal map will suffer quite a bit at lower resolutions. Also it is quite easy to get a program that can resize at the click of a button if you need it.

A retexture mod for Skyrim's Daedric weapons (excluding the bow), offering 4K and 2K texture options. With 956 endorsements and nearly 19,000 downloads, it's a well-received visual upgrade for players who want sharper, more detailed Daedric gear. Last updated in 2014, so compatibility with current game versions is unverified.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid choice for Daedric fans—956 endorsements and 18k downloads show it's trusted
- Gives you both 4K and 2K options, so you can pick based on your rig's performance
- Covers all melee Daedric weapons, so your whole arsenal gets a consistent look
⚠️ Cons
- No bow retexture—if you're a stealth archer, you'll need a separate mod for that
- Last updated in 2014—might not play nice with newer Skyrim versions or other texture overhauls
- No screenshots or install instructions in the description, so you're flying blind until you try it
For Skyrim players who want their Daedric swords, axes, and maces to look sharper without overhauling the entire game. Perfect if you're doing a Daedric-themed playthrough and want high-res textures. Skip if you're a bow user or prefer a complete texture pack that covers everything.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—it'll handle the file placement automatically.
- Choose the 4K version only if your GPU has enough VRAM (4GB+); otherwise, stick with 2K to avoid stuttering.
- Since it's an older mod, test it with your current load order—if textures look off, try placing it lower in your mod list.
