📋 About This Mod
Yes, It's a Bucket Mod. You're Welcome.
Look, I know what you're thinking. "A bucket retexture? Really?" Yes. Really.
I was never happy with the way Skyrim's buckets looked. They bothered me. Every tavern, every farmhouse, every dungeon — blurry, sad little buckets everywhere. So after years of mild irritation, I finally snapped and made this.
You didn't know you needed HD buckets. But you do. Trust me.

[]Two Resolution Options: 4K for people who really care about buckets, 2K for the casually bucket-curious

]Better Wood Grain: Because even wooden containers deserve dignity[]Improved Metal Bands: Now with actual metallic detail
— COMPATIBILITY —
Works with everything except other mods that retexture buckets. And if you have multiple bucket mods installed, I have questions.
— UNINSTALLATION —
If you somehow decide HD buckets aren't for you, remove these files:
-
[]textures\clutter\bucket01.dds
[]textures\clutter\bucket01_n.dds
[]textures\clutter\bucket01_m.dds
[]meshes\clutter\bucket01.nif
[]meshes\clutter\bucket02a.nif
- meshes\clutter\bucket02b.nif
The bucket mod you never asked for, but absolutely needed.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (2,203 endorsements) — this mod is a proven favorite.
- Massive download count (629k) shows it's a go-to for texture enthusiasts.
- Two resolution options let you balance quality and performance.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017 — may not be optimized for the latest Skyrim versions or mod setups.
- Only covers buckets — if you're looking for a broader texture overhaul, this won't do it.
- No screenshots or detailed install instructions provided, so you're flying blind until you try it.
For Skyrim players who obsess over visual consistency and want even the most overlooked objects to look sharp. Perfect for modders building a high-fidelity setup. Skip if you want gameplay changes or a comprehensive texture pack.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Choose the 2K version if you're on a lower-end PC or want to save VRAM — the difference is barely noticeable in-game.
- Since this mod only affects buckets, you can safely install it alongside other texture mods without conflicts.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement to keep your load order clean.
