📋 About This Mod

INTRODUCTION: Dragon Priests are powerful dungeon bosses who wield some of the best collectible unique items in Skyrim - the Dragon Priest Masks. They are unique and there are only 10 of them in Skyrim (not including DLCs). Unfortunately, vanilla Skyrim used the same texture for all of them and they all looked uninteresting - it doesn't give justice to the power and uniqueness of these collectible artifacts. So, I created these new textures to truly show that each of them is one-of-a-kind with a sinister BAD-ASS look! These new textures now represent the true EVIL nature of the masks.

Version 2. 0 - This is a high resolution texture replacer for the 10 Dragon Priest Masks: Konahrik, Hevnoraak, Krosis, Morokei, Nahkriin, Otar, Rahgot, Vokun, Volsung and Wooden Mask. Version 2. 1 - This is the stand-alone (non-replacer) version of the Unique Dragon Priest Masks. They are craftable and enchantable. Compatible with any replacer mod for the Dragon Priest Masks.

INSTALLATION: Version 2. 0 - Extract the archive contents into your Skyrim data folder. Enjoy! Version 2. 1 - Extract the archive contents into your Skyrim data folder and activate the included ".esp" file in your load order.

Credits & Permissions: Most of these textures are hand-made by me, so please endorse if you like it and give credits and ask permission if you want to use it in your own mods.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod needs conversion or if a compatible version exists—this one is from 2013.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to easily install and uninstall without messing up your Data folder.
  • Load order shouldn't matter much for a texture replacer, but place it after other mods that alter the same meshes or textures.
