📋 About This Mod
High quality retexture of Miraak's gear available at 2k and 4k resolution
Includes meshes with modified shaders to unlock the full potential of the set as well as a new cubemap specifically crafted for it
Color scheme is based on Dragonborn promotional art, which gives the character a much deserved epic look
In addition to the main blue color scheme for cloth, I've made a couple of alternative recolors:
Crimson Red and Vanilla Green
Vanilla shaders of Miraak's gear lack enviroment mapping in the whole set except the helmet and pauldrons, this leads to visual inconsistency and it's not enough to properly represent a goldish material. Therefore meshes with new shaders are included in the archive as well as a new cubemap. This causes partial incompatibility with mods that modify Miraak meshes as those won't benefit from the new shaders or use the new cubemap.
A patch for Improved Closefaced Helmets is available within the fomod installer

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive community trust (11,928 endorsements)
- Proven track record with 3.9 million downloads
- Choice of 2K or 4K to balance performance and quality
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021 — may not be optimized for the latest Skyrim version or modding tools
- Only covers Miraak's gear, not other Dragonborn DLC content
For Skyrim players who want a sharper, more detailed Miraak without overhauling the whole game. If you're a texture enthusiast who values high-res visuals and don't mind a slightly dated mod, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or a full DLC retexture pack.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Choose the 2K version if you're on a mid-range PC to avoid VRAM issues; 4K is for high-end rigs.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to easily switch between 2K and 4K files.
- If you're playing Skyrim Special Edition, make sure the mod is compatible with your version — check the mod page for any updates or patches.
