📋 About This Mod
Frankly HD Dragonbone and Dragonscale - Armor and Weapons
"Is your armor made of... dragon bones? By the gods, what I would do for a set of that."
High resolution (up to 8k) retexture of Dragonbone and Dragonscale sets.
Includes Dragonbone and Dragonscale armor sets; all Dragonbone weapons added by Dawnguard DLC and the Jagged Crown.
Vanilla normal maps were upscaled with a neural network software leading to much crisper and clearer details than one normally gets with upscaling on traditional image editing software. Then the textures were crafted on that framework.
Compatible with all mesh replacers.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,333 endorsements — clearly a go-to for HD dragon gear.
- Offers both 4K and 2K versions, so you can pick based on your rig's performance.
- Covers armor, weapons, and the Jagged Crown — one download for all your dragonbone needs.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019 — might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim Special Edition patches.
- Only covers dragonbone and dragonscale — if you wanted other dragon-related gear, this won't help.
For Skyrim players who love dragon-themed armor and want sharper textures without overhauling the whole game. Perfect for those who want a visual upgrade for their endgame gear. Skip if you're looking for new armor models or gameplay changes — this is purely a texture replacer.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, just download and activate — but if you're on Special Edition, make sure to grab the SE version if available, as Oldrim textures may not work directly.
- Choose the 2K version if you're on a lower-end PC or want to save VRAM; 4K is for high-end rigs.
- Load order doesn't matter much for texture replacers, but place it after any mods that change the same armor meshes to ensure the textures apply.
