📋 About This Mod
What this mod includes:
• New Meshes & Textures for the Bloodstone Chalice (Dawnguard)
• Updated collision shape for the Empty Chalice
Installation
• Mod Manager / Manual Extraction to the Skyrim Data folder.
• Overwrite any existing files. No plugin requirement.
FAQ:
1) Why does it float in the air when dropped?
• This is an issue present in vanilla Skyrim and is done to prevent the Chalice from being knocked off its pedestal in Castle Volkihar. I could make a script to switch motion types when dropped but honestly, it's not worth it.
2) Can you add an ENB Particle Light version?
• Vampire blood doesn't glow or give off light, stop being silly.
• If for some reason the files do not work, cause crashes or any other problems, please do not hesitate to contact me.
• All screenshots are taken directly from the game and resized down from 1920x1080 to 1280x720. No other editing has been done.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 6,353 endorsements and 2.8M downloads
- Offers both 2K and 4K options to fit your performance needs
- Simple texture replacer—no gameplay changes, just a better-looking chalice
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the Bloodstone Chalice—if you want more Dawnguard item overhauls, you'll need other mods
- No screenshots or detailed previews in the description, so you'll have to see it in-game
- Last updated in January 2026—likely fine for current Skyrim versions, but always check compatibility
For Skyrim players who want to enhance the visual quality of quest items without altering gameplay. Ideal for those who appreciate high-resolution textures and want the Bloodstone Chalice to look as epic as its lore suggests. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or overhauls beyond this single item.
💡 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 on a lower-end PC, grab the 2K version; 4K is for those with VRAM to spare.
- Make sure you have the Dawnguard DLC installed, as the chalice only appears in that questline.
