📋 About This Mod
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IMPORTANT NOTE: I am happy to allow anybody to use my work in your mods. Anything I make, and release, can be considered a modders resource. However, this only applies to those who are providing the work freely. You may NOT use my work in any mod that you intend to accept donations for. I do not work so you can profit off my efforts. Please respect my wishes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Replaces the \"farmhouse\" building textures with new, and a few altered Beth textures. This is NOT a super high res texture re-placer. All diffuse textures are the same dimensions as the original textures. The normal maps have been increased to 1024 from 512 to match the dimensions of the diffuse textures. All textures should be saved in properly compressed DDS formats. If there are any issues regarding incorrect compression, or any other issues, please let me know. Installation: Merge with your Data>Textures>Farmhouse folder Delete: Remove files from the folder mentioned above. _______________________________________________________ UPDATE February 1: ~~~~~ Update 3: Uploaded file with folder structure. Should install properly now. ~~~~~ Update 2: Added screenshots with ENB off. ~~~~~ Improved mip maps to reduce/remove flickering issues. Fixed walkway over brightness when using ENB Improved Shingles normal map for more depth. Added woodpost texel density fix. This is the only texture at 2048x2048 due to 1024 not being quite good enough to fix the issue. I also adjusted the normal map a bit so it looks less \"chunky.\" Please share your thoughts, problems (with the textures, not your life issues, I am not a shrink), suggestions, and so on. _______________________________________________________ UPDATE January 29: ~~~~~Update 2: Added an optional fix for the wood posts. It is my attempt at fixing the texel-density issue with some of the wood posts. I uploaded a new comparison screenshot showing the difference. Also note that the new textures are at 2048. I tried to fix the problem with 1024 textures but it simply wasn\'t working. The only way to fix this issue otherwise is by re-doing the UV\'s for all the effected poles. I however am far to lazy to do that. :) ~~~~~ Added a patch and full update conataining the missing roof01 texture. If you are downloading after this date you do not need the patch file. ________________________________________________________ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Added some more screens showing the textures in better lighting conditions. A lot of the orange color in the comparison pic\'s comes from the setting sun. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 5,499 endorsements – clearly a lot of players dig this look.
- Massive download count (137k) means it's been tested by tons of people, so compatibility is likely solid.
- It's a pure texture replacer – no scripts, no ESP, just drop-in and go, perfect for modders who want a quick visual upgrade.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2012 – that's ancient in modding years, so it might not play nice with the latest Skyrim versions or other texture mods.
- Only covers farmhouses – if you want a full overhaul of all buildings, you'll need to grab other mods too.
- No before/after screenshots or detailed description, so you're flying blind on what the textures actually look like until you try it.
For Skyrim players who want a subtle but noticeable change to the farmhouses scattered across the holds, without overhauling the entire game. If you're a texture junkie looking to refresh the rural areas, this is a classic pick. Skip if you want comprehensive building overhauls or gameplay tweaks – this is purely cosmetic.
💡 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're using other texture mods, install this one last so it overwrites farmhouse textures cleanly.
- Check the mod's comments section for user screenshots – the description is bare, so the community often posts previews.
