✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,195 endorsements and 286,742 downloads
- Gives that boring ruin chest a crisp 4K facelift, or 2K if your GPU is struggling
- Simple drop-in texture replacer—no scripts or plugins to mess with
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers the small SMIM chest—other chests remain untouched
- Last updated in 2020, so it might not be tested with the latest Skyrim patches
- No screenshots or install instructions in the description, so you're on your own
For Skyrim modders who want to spruce up the most common loot container without overhauling every texture in the game. Perfect if you're running a 4K setup and hate seeing blurry chests. Skip if you want variety across all chest types—this is a one-trick pony.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, just download and activate—no need to manually extract.
- Check the file size before installing; 4K textures can be heavy on VRAM, so opt for 2K if you're on a mid-range GPU.
- Make sure you have the SMIM mod installed, otherwise this retexture won't apply to the right chest.
