⚠️ Cons

  • 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
🎯 Is This For You?

📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 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.
