📋 About This Mod
I was playing around with parallax in the caves today and this came to be. Thought I should share :) there may be some stretching here or there on some of the meshes, not a lot I can do there. Overall everything looks pretty good though.
Install as you normally would.
Big shoutout to Spongeman131 for the nif batch script. Saved me so much time, I would have had to change every nif by hand and tbh I can't be bothered to do that. Credits to them or I wouldn't have bothered trying to parallax anything lol.
Will work if you use ENB or Vanilla POM/Parallax Shader Fix
If you don't want to use parallax but want to use the textures just delete the meshes folder and _p files.
also can someone let me know if this works in VR? Looks like it's working for VR as well big thanks to NerevarineKhajiit for testing locations for me.

Parallax Caves 4k-2k by MystiriousDawn adds parallax occlusion mapping to caves, including regular caves and ice caves, with 4k-2k texture resolutions. It's a visual enhancement mod for Skyrim, popular with over 2,000 endorsements and 200k downloads, last updated in January 2023.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 2,295 endorsements and over 200k downloads.
- Brings caves to life with parallax depth, making them feel more immersive.
- 4k-2k textures offer crisp detail without being overly demanding.
⚠️ Cons
- Parallax effects require specific ENB or shader support to work properly.
- May conflict with other cave texture overhauls that don't include parallax.
- Last updated in 2023, so compatibility with newer game versions is uncertain.
For Skyrim players who want to boost cave visuals with realistic depth and have a rig that can handle 4k textures. If you're using an ENB and love texture overhauls, this is a must-have. Skip if you prefer performance-friendly mods or don't use parallax-compatible setups.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure your ENB or shader mod supports parallax occlusion mapping, or the effect won't show.
- Load this mod after other cave texture mods to ensure it takes priority.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check that the mod version matches your game version.
