📋 About This Mod
The texture files from the original mod were a mix of 512, 1K and 2K, with a few 256 files, in BC1 compression. I have cleaned all files of compression artifacts caused by these older compression formats, and then upscaled them all by 4x, to a maximum resolution of 4K. Then I converted them to BC7 compression and generated full mipmaps. I cleaned and upscaled them using Cupscale/ESRGAN and then finalized with NVIDIA Texture Tools and Octagon.
Requires the original mod; overwrite with this one.
Thank you to raiserfx for creating Detailed Rugs and for granting me permission to modify and publish these texture files.
Performance Options for Potato PCs
Mipmaps and BC7 compression reduce VRAM usage, especially when the files are cleaned of compression artifacts.
For Potato PCs, I've uploaded a downscaled version where the diffuse texture files are larger than normal and environment map files, which are less visible in game. This reduces VRAM usage considerably while maintaining higher visual quality, using the Octagon config files posted on this mod, which I recommend using if you have a Potato PC.

For Skyrim players who already use raiserfx's Detailed Rugs and want sharper, cleaner textures without overhauling their whole setup. If you're on a potato PC, the performance option is a solid pick. Skip if you don't use the base mod or prefer complete texture overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original Detailed Rugs mod installed first, or these textures won't show up.
- If you're on a low-end PC, grab the Potato performance option instead of the 4K version to avoid FPS drops.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to easily switch between 4K and 2K versions without manual file overwrites.
