📋 About This Mod

OIL

My HD version

By Xtudo

Description (Small details that make big differences)

It was bugging me for a while, so I removed, from the vanilla oil texture, its ugly "squares."

  • []The improvement is most noticeable ingame.

    []Handmade 2K and 1K texture versions. I recommend you the 2K (22MB file) as the final result is perfect, but the 1K (5Mb file) will improve it too.

    []It's not compatible with any other mod that changes the vanilla oil textures.

    []No ESP. It's fine to install or uninstall at any time.

    I made it for my game and now I'm sharing it, I hope you like it.

    I did something similar with the puddles and toxic water from Apocrypha:

    PUDDLES - My HD version
    Hermaeus Mora - Water and tentacles - My HD version

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install—just drop the mod in and activate it.

  • Since it's a texture replacer, no need to run FNIS or Bodyslide—just launch the game and check the oil textures.
