📋 About This Mod
Replaces the gemstones models with new ones along with new textures and optionally adds unique models for Olava's Token, Exquisite Sapphire and the Mark of Dibella.
=>New models and textures for each gem.
Gems don't really require high-res textures but i left 4K 2K and 1K Archives if anyone wants them.
=>In the main version the texture resolutions are:
-Flawless diamond and environment map: 8pixels.
-Flawless gems normal map: 128pixels.
-Flawed gems normal map: 512pixels.
-Flawless and flawed diffuse maps: 1K.
=>Immersive Sounds Compendium patches for the unique gems are available as well.
=>Unique models for unique gems: Olava's Token, Exquisite Sapphire and the Mark of Dibella.
(There's 2 models available for the Mark of Dibella and you can pick which one you want during FOMOD installation).
=>I remade the collisions for all the gems because the vanilla ones were much bigger than my models and even the vanilla models and it was causing the gems to float a little above the surface of whatever they were on and it was bothering me, so no more floating gems :)
=>Damaged versions of the unique gems are available as resources, they're nifs ready for use so you can replace anything you want with those and if you want to change the colours you only have to change the Emissive / Specular and vertex colours in the nifs.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 3,744 endorsements and 2.7 million downloads—clearly a go-to for texture enthusiasts.
- Simple texture replacer—no gameplay changes, just better-looking gems.
- Last updated in December 2021, so it's relatively recent for a texture mod.
⚠️ Cons
- Author's description is just 'Read description'—no actual details provided, so you're flying blind on what exactly is changed.
- No install instructions or compatibility notes—you'll need to figure out load order yourself.
- Texture mods can conflict with other overhauls; without documentation, you might run into visual glitches if you use other texture packs.
For Skyrim players who want their gemstones to pop with higher resolution textures without altering gameplay. Perfect for modders who love visual upgrades and don't mind a bit of trial and error. Skip if you're looking for new gem types or gameplay mechanics—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the description is sparse, check the mod's posts tab on Nexus for user-reported compatibility issues.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle installation and load order—texture replacers are usually safe to overwrite.
- If you use other texture overhauls, place this mod lower in your load order to ensure its textures take priority.
