📋 About This Mod

( Nexus Modpage | How to Install | Community Showcase |  Discord Support  )

Eldergleam is a Skyrim Modlist that focuses on replacing Skyrim’s vanilla visuals with 2k-4k photorealistic textures. Most of the textures are parallaxed, having that 3D look. Additionally, the animations have also been completely replaced, making the game feel more fluid and up to date to today’s standards. Eldergleam was made for it to be easily modified by new and veteran moders who wants a base modlist that already has all the core mods needed to start modding and having one of the best visual mods to start of with. You’ll be able to get the exact modlist with just a few clicks thanks to the amazing program Wabbajack.

Eldergleam's main focus is to enhance the overall visual quality of Skyrim with mods. Making it more vibrant and NEXT-GEN standards. With the help of amazing mods such as Tomato's Complex Landscapes Parallax AIO by Tomatokillz, ERM by CaptainCockerel  for the amazing mountains, Freaks Floral Fields by BloodyFreak for the nice diverse grasses. Cabbage ENB for the vibrant look, NAT III for the Weathers, and Lux for the exterior & interior Lighting. The atmosphere of Skyrim is exactly how we felt seeing Skyrim for the first time when it came out 13 years ago. You’ll definitely feel that beauty once more.

Having great visuals do not make a game good, but having High Quality Audio will! It’s 2024 and audio quality has drastically improved compared to audio back then. Even if a game has good visuals, but the audio is terrible… how can you feel that epicness when fighting or relaxation when exploring? Well, Eldergleam incorporates amazing audio mods that enhanced most of the audio that can be heard in-game. Mods such as Audio Overhaul For Skyrim, Immersive Sounds, Phoenix Compendium, pentapox audio mods, Clofas' amazing atmospheric sounds, and new immersive soundtracks!
