Spice of Life - Barrels
Adds unique meshes and textures for the following barrels:
-
[]Food
[
]Fish[]Meat
[]Black Briar Mead
[]Honningbrew Mead
[]Common ingredients
[]Uncommon ingredients
- Theives Guild Barrel
Each barrel has it's own texture and mesh. Optionally, the textures can have logos or symbols of what the barrels contain in them. The mod includes a very simple plugin that assigns the barrels new meshes.
Performance:
The textures are all 2k, with 1k uncompressed normals. This mod will increase your Vram usage, but not considerably. Otherwise performance impact should be minimal. If you're running a low-end system (with less than 2gb of Vram) then it might be nessisary to optimize or resize the textures. Which can be done with this tool.
Compatibility:
This mod is compatible with most anything, except mods that add new barrel types or mods that change which mesh is assigned to barrels. The exception being Dynamic Things, which I made a patch for (Tested and confirmed working by zelazko).
Install:
Install with mod manager. I do not support manual installs.
For best results, overwrite SMIM (this already contains SMIM meshes) and any other texture pack.
Load order should not matter for this mod. But in general, you should use LOOT to sort everything. As with load order, mods closer to the bottom take priority, so if this mod does conflict with something, your first step should be trying to move the

For Skyrim players who want to spice up the visual variety of common clutter without overhauling the whole game. If you're tired of seeing the same old pots, plates, and utensils everywhere, this mod adds some freshness. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or if you're on Skyrim Special Edition without a conversion patch.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is from 2016, make sure you're using the original Skyrim (Legendary Edition) or check for a Special Edition port if you're on SSE.
- Use a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage this mod easily, and to keep track of load order.
- If you're using other mods that alter clutter textures, consider load order — this mod should be placed after those to ensure its changes take effect.
