📋 About This Mod
Original texture files were a mix of 256, 512 and 1K in BC1 and BC3 compression. I have cleaned all files of compression artifacts, and then upscaled them all by 4x, to a maximum resolution of 4K in BC7 compression and generated full mipmaps. I cleaned and upscaled them using Cupscale/ESRGAN and then finalized with NVIDIA Texture Tools and Octagon.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 560 endorsements and over 14k downloads
- Significant visual upgrade from original 256/512/1K textures to 4K
- Uses modern BC7 compression for better quality and performance
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the original Holidays mod, so you need to install both
- High-resolution textures may impact performance on lower-end systems
- Compatibility with other texture overhauls that modify the same files could cause conflicts
For Skyrim players who love the Holidays mod but want crisper, cleaner textures without the blurry artifacts. If you're running a high-resolution setup and have the VRAM to spare, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you're on a low-end rig or don't care about texture quality.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install the original Holidays mod first, then overwrite with this upscaled version.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to ensure proper file overwrite order.
- If you experience performance issues, consider using the 2K version if available.
