📋 About This Mod
Retexture of spider egg sacs and cobwebs by Isoku, now cleaned, upscaled, and optimized for SE
Texture files from the original mod were primarily 2K and some 1K. 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.
Performance Option for Potato PCs
Mipmaps and BC7 compression reduce VRAM usage, especially when the files are cleaned of compression artifacts.
For Potato PCs, I've uploaded a downscaled version where the diffuse texture files are larger than normal and environment map files, which are less visible in game. This reduces VRAM usage considerably while maintaining higher visual quality, using the Octagon config files posted on this mod, which I recommend using if you have a Potato PC.
Thank you so much to Isoku for creating the original mod and giving permission for me to release this mod.

This mod cleans, upscales, and optimizes Isoku's spider web and egg sac textures for Skyrim Special Edition, bringing them up to 4K with BC7 compression and full mipmaps.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 389 endorsements and over 13k downloads—plenty of players trust this one.
- The 4K upscale with BC7 compression gives crisp webs without nuking your VRAM.
- Potato PC option is a lifesaver—you can get the visual boost without the frame drop.
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers spider webs and egg sacs—if you're after a full creature overhaul, this is just a tiny piece.
- The upscaling process can sometimes introduce artifacts, though the cleaning helps—still, it's not a hand-painted retexture.
- Compatibility risk: if you use other mods that alter the same spider textures, you'll need to sort load order carefully.
For Skyrim players who want sharper spider webs and egg sacs without sacrificing performance. If you're a texture junkie who appreciates optimized 4K upgrades, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or a complete creature retexture pack.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on a lower-end PC, grab the performance option—it keeps the visual quality high while saving VRAM.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and manage load order, especially if you have other texture mods.
- Check the mod page for the Octagon config files mentioned—they're recommended for potato PCs.
