📋 About This Mod

AEY3mrCtAno Update 2/10/12 Added Sexy Whiterun 3. 1 Fixed reflective grass issue so it now LOOKS like grass and not the surface of the sun. Also changed interior color of Breezehome from Miami blue to a more neutral mauve. Also uploaded optional Dirt Road file for people who don\'t like the brick road texture (available under \"downloads\")! See last screenshot above. Update 2/10/12 - Added Sexy Whiterun 3. 0 DESCRIPTION: I give you Sexy Whiterun 3. 0, a near-complete retexturing of the city of Whiterun. Sexy Whiterun 3. 0 is a companion piece to my other sexy mods: Sexy Solitude v1 Sexy Winterhold v2 Sexy Windhelm v1 Sexy Riften v2 Sexy Villages and Towns Sexy Boats This new version 3. 0 goes beyond the saturation and sharpening of previous versions, as I\'ve retextured 90% of the wood, rock, fabric, and flora of Whiterun using photographs and all manner of digital manipulation to make a more colorful and sexy Nord stronghold. This time out, the textures are all 1024x1024, but, to keep framerates manageable, I\'ve left the normal maps at their 512x512 default sizes (as many of the HQ texture mods do). So what\'s new in 3. 0? Nearly EVERYTHING! New wood, new stone, new floors, new doors, new walls, new braziers, new stove clutter, stained glass windows...hell, there\'s even new bark on the tree. The very few vanilla textures I\'ve used have been recolored and blown up using Perfect Resize and sharpened using Nik Software\'s Sharpener Pro, two tools I use in my photography that do a damned fine job of embiggening things while maintaining detail. The default version of this mod includes the Blue Roof, which was the most popular of the early releases. However, I\'ve also included two optional files - Sexy Whiterun 3. 0 Red Roofs Sexy Whiterun 3. 0 Yellow Roofs Note: The above files contain the ROOF textures ONLY. You must install Sexy Skyrim 3. 0 first, then pick your color, download and install the roof file, and overwrite when prompted. Et voila, You\'ve got Red or Yellow roofs! Notes on Using with Bethesda HQ Texture Pack: This mod, like most of the texture mods, doesn\'t 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 mods out than the official ones!). You can find several workarounds HERE on the Nexus Forums While I consider this mod \"lore friendly\" it is NOT for everyone. Those who like the weathered look of vanilla Skyrim should steer clear. Those who like a more fantastical world, ala Oblivion, The Witcher, and Fable, with more vibrant colors, however, should give this one a try! As with any texture thing I do, it\'s all for fun and, ultimately, my personal enjoyment. If you don\'t like it, that\'s fine, but please don\'t

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check for a port or compatibility patch—this mod predates SE and won't work directly.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to keep track of texture overrides and easily revert if you don't like the look.
  • Load this mod early in your load order (or let your mod manager handle it) to ensure other texture mods don't overwrite it unexpectedly.
