A set of terrain parallax supporting textures for the tundra region. I added some overlapping stuff from my other mods too, just overwrite older files.
Due to overlapping textures and meshes my Tundra Moss Revised AND my Cliff's and Creek's are incorporated. Individual mods are redundant if you install this one.
Because alpha transparency is used for terrain parallax AND transitions I had to adjust overlay threshold values. That's why I provide rock/mountains and some other landscape meshes here again... as said above, just overwrite ;) Generally the meshes are the same as for Rocking Stones2, if you want to deactivate parallax effect on them just install the related patch
PLEASE NOTE: - - - - - - - - - - - If you use parallax in combination with an Enb-preset make sure "FixParallaxBugs=true" in "enblocal.ini" is set. Same for "FixParallaxTerrain"
I highly suggest to add a plant mod like Skyrim Flora Overhaul, Unique Grasses and Groundcovers or Tamriel Reloaded...

about PARALLAX
In simple words, parallax is a advancement of normalmapping... though the depth-information doesn't get simply "drawn" on the surface, it rather warps the texture itself in the desired direction. You can imagine the parallax-texture as kind of radar map like the NASA ones from Venus. The depth effect can get triangulated out of it. It is not as sophisticated as high end Tessellation and a much older technique, but still nice :)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with nearly 2,000 endorsements
- High download count (48k+) shows real demand
- Simple, focused mod that does one thing well
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015 — may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim version or other texture overhauls
- Only covers the Tundra region, so you'll need other mods for the rest of the map
For Skyrim players who want more detailed ground textures in the Tundra without overhauling the entire game. Perfect for those building a mod list focused on visual fidelity. Skip if you want comprehensive texture coverage or gameplay changes — this is purely cosmetic and limited to one region.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, just download and install — no extra steps needed.
- Since it's from 2015, check if you have other texture mods that might conflict; load order matters for textures, so place this after major overhauls.
- For best results, make sure your graphics settings have parallax enabled in the game's ini files.
