📋 About This Mod
Cathedral Landscapes covers much of the natural terrain with a consistent look, and has excellent matching grass to boot. I'm happy to offer an addon that tries to add an additional layer of 3D detail to an already beloved mod. Please direct any questions or bug reports regarding parallax to me on this page, the authors of Cathedral Landscapes are not directly involved with this addon.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 653 endorsements and over 53k downloads
- Adds real depth to the ground and plants—parallax makes a huge visual difference
- Actively maintained, last updated September 2024
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Cathedral Landscapes as a base mod—this is an addon, not standalone
- Parallax effects can be performance-heavy on lower-end rigs
- Potential conflicts with other landscape texture overhauls that modify the same files
For Skyrim players who already use Cathedral Landscapes and want extra visual punch without switching mods. If you're a screenshot enthusiast or just love detailed ground textures, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you don't use Cathedral Landscapes or if your PC struggles with parallax.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure Cathedral Landscapes is installed first, then drop this addon after it in your load order.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it overwrite any conflicting files from the base mod.
- Test in an outdoor area with grass and rocks to see the parallax effect—it's most noticeable up close.
