📋 About This Mod
High definition texture and mesh replacers for the Stone Quarry and Clay Deposit resources added by the Hearthfire DLC which until now has very few replacers available (none for the clay deposit yet). These are hand-made, high-quality textures done from scratch. Meshes are also modified to reduce the stretching (obvious in vanilla) and to enable Parallax effect.
- Realistic High Defintion 2k Textures for Stone Quarry and Clay Deposit (Also available in 1K version for performance)
- Enhanced Normal Maps for realism
- Enhanced meshes to minimize stretching and seams
- Parallax-enabled for enhanced 3D look (works best with ENB but not required)
- Removed the annoying "plastic" shine on clay deposit
Default version of HD Stone Quarry is designed for use with "Superior Rock Textures- Dark grey"
Optional variants of HD Stone Quarry are available for Vanilla and Superior Rock Textures - light grey
Requirements:
Hearthfire DLC
Superior Rock Textures (optional but highly recommended)
Installation:
Extract the archive contents into your Skyrim data folder, overwrite the files when prompted.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive community trust with 7,960 endorsements and nearly half a million downloads
- Gives those ugly vanilla quarries a crisp, high-res facelift
- Offers both 2K and 1K versions so you can balance quality and performance
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013 — might not be optimized for the latest Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition without tweaks
- Only covers two resource types — don't expect any other Hearthfire textures here
For Skyrim players who love building homesteads and want those quarries and clay deposits to look sharp, not blurry. Perfect for modders who already use HD texture packs and want consistency. Skip if you're on a low-end rig or don't care about texture fidelity.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, you may need to convert the textures or use a mod manager that handles oldrim mods — check the mod page for any patches.
- Pick the 1K version if you're on a lower-end PC to avoid VRAM strain, especially if you have other texture mods installed.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to easily switch between 2K and 1K versions without messing up your Data folder.
