📋 About This Mod

fCLEKEbZcDE&feature=youtu.be Sexy Solitude 1. 0 DESCRIPTION: I give you Sexy Solitude 1. 0, a near-complete retexturing of the city of Solitude, and a companion piece to my other mods - Sexy Riften v2 Sexy Whiterun v3 Sexy Winterhold v1 Sexy Villages and Towns v1 Sexy Windhelm v2 Sexy Boats Please, if you use and like these or any other file on the Nexus, please endorse as it only takes a second, and it makes us modder folk feel all warm and fuzzy inside! AEY3mrCtAno As with my most recent mods, this retexturing of Solitude, the jewel of Skyrim, goes beyond just saturating the colors of the original textures. This is a full redo of almost every single texture seen in Solitude, once again, using photographs of era appropriate items and materials. I\'ve pushed texture size a bit, here, making both the textures and normal maps 1024x1024, which, I find, makes things a touch sharper. This should still run fine on medium spec machines, however! So what\'s new about Sexy Solitude? VCDgE_d3fls As always, just about everything, but, this time out, I decided to try and maintain much of the city\'s original look in terms of the structure of things such as doors and windows, painstakingly retexturing each with new, more photorealistic materials, but keeping the general \"look\" the same (well, besides them looking newer and sexier!). As for stone work, I\'ve redone it all, both inside and out. The castle walls, house foundations, stucco, ceilings, everthing. I\'ve also remodeled the interiors with lots of marble, granite, and new carvings. Now Proudspire looks like how the most expensive home in Skyrim SHOULD look! It\'s decadent, I tell ya! As with Riften and Whiterun, I also remade the windows with a bubbled glass look, new reflection, and replaced/added more colorful and vibrant stained glass that really looks killer at night. Natural elements, like grass, dirt, moss, and ivy have all been replaced by new photorealistic hi-res textures. Also retextured were the grates, manholes, rope, gates, wall studs, gravestones, windmill, stone mill, etc... As for vanilla textures, I used three (brought over from the \"hi res\" files from Bethesda\'s DLC Texture pack), including 2 banners and the throne (I wasn\'t going to bother redoing that as it looks fine as it is). All were sharpened and enhanced in terms of color. If you use it and like it, an endorsement would be much appreciated! It\'s nice to know people like what you\'ve done! :) Notes on Using with Bethesda HQ Texture Pack: This mod, like most of the texture mods, may not work with the Bethesda HQ textures pack unless you do a few tweaks (or simply disable them, which I recommend as there are much better texture m
