📋 About This Mod
Isoku's reduced and improved sunglare texture, now cleaned and in full 4K resolution.
The original mod was in 2K resolution. I have cleaned it of compression artifacts, and then upscaled to 4K in BC7 compression and generated full mipmaps. I cleaned and upscaled using Cupscale/ESRGAN and then finalized with NVIDIA Texture Tools and Octagon.
Thank you so much to Isoku for creating the original mod and giving permission for me to release this mod.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 340 endorsements and over 109k downloads
- Solves a common annoyance—default sun glare can be blinding
- 4K resolution means you don't sacrifice visual fidelity for comfort
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the sun glare texture—no other visual changes
- 4K texture may impact performance on lower-end systems
- Last updated in 2022, so it might not be compatible with the latest game patches
For Skyrim SE players who find the default sun glare too harsh and want a cleaner look without overhauling their visuals. If you're running a lightweight mod list and want a simple fix, this is for you. Skip if you're on a potato PC or want more comprehensive weather overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no load order worries.
- If you're using an ENB, the sun glare might be handled differently, so test in-game to see if the mod works as expected.
- For best results, pair with a weather mod that doesn't already alter sun glare to avoid conflicts.
