Conversion and update of my retexture mod for Oldrim. Some textures removed and some new added. Works, at least for my ENB setup (latest). No noisy specular.
Update august 2020! Mipmaps were somehow missing and was probably the cause of some having an issue with glimmering and noisy textures. This has now been fixed.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 915 endorsements and over 354k downloads – clearly a lot of people trust this one.
- Breathes new life into the dungeons you'll spend half your playtime in – ruins and caves get a fresh, detailed look.
- It's a conversion of a proven Oldrim mod, so you know the textures have been battle-tested.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020 – might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches, so watch for any visual glitches.
- No screenshots or detailed feature list in the description – you're going in a bit blind unless you check the Oldrim version.
- Only covers nordic ruins and caves – if you wanted other dungeon types (like Dwemer or imperial forts), this won't help.
For Skyrim SE players who want a quick, reliable visual upgrade to the most common dungeon types without overhauling the whole game. If you're a modder who already uses Northfire's other retextures, this fits right in. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or a complete dungeon overhaul – this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a texture mod, it's safe to install with a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 – just download and activate.
- If you're using other dungeon retextures, load this one after them to ensure it takes priority.
- Check the mod's posts section for any user-reported compatibility notes with the latest Skyrim patch.
