📋 About This Mod

Retexture of Auriel's chantry, paragon gems, ancient falmer armor, Auriel's shield and bow, chantry throne and Ghosu's armory available in 4K/2K.

Retexture of Auriel's Chantry :

2 versions, the original (damaged) and a new (clean) one.

2 additional texture options are available for the bridge.

Complex material parallax support.

Ancient falmer throne replacer :

Replaces the Ancient falmer throne in Auriel's Chantry with a unique model. Available in 4K/2K and 1K.

The vanilla throne uses the dwemer throne from Markarth this will give it a more unique appearance.

Retexture of the Paragon gems :

Enb-Light support patch available as well.

(They have their own metal textures as well so they won't conflict with any Auriel's Chantry retexture mods you may be using).

Retexture of the ancient falmer armor :

Includes fixes from Armor mesh fixes.

Retexture of Auriel's shield and bow :

2 options are available for each, option 1 uses default vanilla mesh settings which makes it look white-ish, while option 2 is more golden.

Ghosu's armory :

Retextures Ghosu's Auriel's Quiver and his Auriel's Crossbow and Swords mod as well.

Adobe Substance.

Disclaimer :

I do not recommend using mods such as BENDR as i've seen evidence of it creating "details" where there shouldn't be, as well as making the specular maps completely black in some cases. If you are using the textures provided by BENDR or something similar for this mod, do not expect things to look identical or better than what you see in the screenshots on the mod page. Any issues that arise from using bendr textures for this mod are on you, i will not be fixing anything related to it. Normal maps cranked to 11 with extra, random "details" and missing (black) specular does not equal improved. My mods have open permissions so other Mod Authors can create new, additional content, but things like this feel more like an insult than anything else...

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community favorite with 3.5k endorsements and 1.7M downloads — clearly a go-to for Chantry overhauls.
  • Recent update (Sept 2024) means it's likely compatible with current Skyrim SE patches.
  • Focused visual upgrade — if you're tired of vanilla Chantry textures, this is a proven fix.

⚠️ Cons

  • Description is just 'Read description.' — no actual details on what textures or models are changed, so you're flying blind.
  • Only covers the Chantry of Auriel — if you want broader Dawnguard overhauls, this won't do it.
  • No screenshots or install instructions provided in the description, so you'll need to check the mod page for those.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim SE players who want a visual refresh of the Chantry of Auriel without overhauling the whole game. If you're a completionist who notices texture quality in every dungeon, this is a safe bet given its popularity. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes — this is purely cosmetic.
