📋 About This Mod
After my first mod Glorious Solitude Door SE here comes my second mod.
As I enjoyed making the first door I thought why not make more of them.
Glorious Solitude Door Replacer SE
This mod replaces all the building doors used in Solitude, both exterior and interior.
For all of them I made new higly detailed meshes in Blender and textures which I hope come close to photorealism.
There are some slight immersion drawbacks as some buildings use different doors on the inside than on the outside.
I made my doors as realistic as possible and added water stains on the exterior side of the doors, but not in the inside.
After I brought them ingame I noticed that some buildings show the exterior side of a door on the inside and vice versa, pretty disappointing.
It doesn't make any sense but this is how it was implemented in Vanilla and I can't do much about it without learning CK, which I'd like to avoid for now.
Also some doors don't line up exactly in their arch because the placement is really weird, I gave my best to make it look good for all of them.
The Temple of the Divines door gets replaced through my other mod Glorious Solitude Door SE.
Installation
Nothing special here, just put the files into your data folder.
Compatibility
I didn't notice any issues with the mods I am using, but make sure to load my mod after any other mod modifying the doors.
The only one I know is XENB 2019 which also replaces the mesh shousedoor01.nif.
Hope you like it, please let me know in case you have any issues with the mod.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,436 endorsements and over 422k downloads — clearly a well-loved visual upgrade.
- Simple drop-in replacer: no patches or compatibility headaches for most setups.
- Gives Solitude a fresh, more detailed look that fits the game's aesthetic.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022 — may not be tested with the latest Skyrim SE updates or the new Creations system.
- Only affects Solitude doors — if you want a city-wide overhaul, this is just a piece of the puzzle.
- No screenshots or detailed previews in the description, so you're trusting the mod's popularity.
For Skyrim SE players who want to spruce up Solitude's entrances with better textures and meshes. If you're a modder building a city overhaul, this is a solid base. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or a full city makeover — this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install — it'll handle file conflicts automatically.
- Place this mod after other Solitude overhauls in your load order to ensure its meshes take priority.
- If you're using the Anniversary Edition, check for any updates or patches — the mod hasn't been updated since 2022.
