High quality vanilla Cow replacer, featuring a new detailed model and 4k textures. Finally, your game's farms will have realistic cattle in line with the current quality standards of modded Skyrim.
This mod offers a new highly detailed model, 4k textures and 2k normal maps for Skyrim's vanilla Cows, originally released in a low quality model, with terrible texture mapping and lots of seams in inappropriate places, and using textures and normal maps with a very low resolution of 512 x 512, making the Cows ugly, dated and blurry (as seen in the comparative images in this description). Due to the poor quality of the model, a detailed re-texture of it was never possible, so I decided not only to bring a new texture, but also to make a completely new model, adapted to the current Skyrim modding standards, as mentioned before.
This mod not only stays true to the original concept, but makes the Cow's appearance even better embedded in the overall Skyrim setting. The mod is completely .esp free, so just install the model and textures, and finally enjoy a high quality bovine in your game.
