📋 About This Mod
Mostly as a resource, these are the textures of LOTD cleaned of compression artifacts and some bad overwrites.
Improvement is not 'amazing' because there isn't upscaling, however if one wanted to upscale later this would be a good resource.
There are some textures that really benefit from this, like the coin textures, however.
Also there are some bad overwrites with the original SD Skyrim textures, like the skeleton, which I have replaced with my stuff from Cleaned Skyrim SE textures, which are from the HD version.
