📋 About This Mod
Complete re-texturing for urns, including normal maps.
2048 x 2048 resolution compared to vanilla 512 x 512 (256x256 normal maps!)
New Dragon texture pack. Since these textures are used in Draugr ruins I thought it would fit well, since draugrs worship dragons.
************************************************
Now with 1024 x 1024 version too!
Has smoother normal maps,
difference in comparison picture
is not only from resizing textures.
***********************************************
It's rather big texture, but so are the items that use it too. Looks great ingame.
NO FXAA USED IN SCREENSHOTS.
Just install the files into:
YOUR SKYRIM FOLDER*/Data/Textures/clutter/ruins
Not perfect, but better than Vanilla ;)
Endorse if you like it, Enjoy!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,633 endorsements – clearly a hit.
- Hand-made textures mean real quality, not blurry upscales.
- Lightweight and easy to install – just drop and go.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2011 – may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim versions.
- Only affects urns – if you wanted other object retextures, this won't help.
For Skyrim players who notice the little details and want their urns to look sharper without overhauling the whole game. If you're a texture junkie who appreciates hand-crafted work, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or a complete visual overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture mod, just extract the files into your Skyrim Data folder – no mod manager needed.
- If you're using a mod manager, you can still install it manually by dragging the folder into the manager's mod list.
- Check the mod's compatibility with other texture overhauls – load order might matter if you have multiple retextures.
