📋 About This Mod
River Stone
River stone complex parallax textures are here. 4k-2k stuff per usual saved in BC7.
The main file is that which I would use in a typical playthrough as it blends best with other texture mods and just easier for mix and matching in general.
The Vanilla Green optional file is in the color palette of the vanilla game, I've included some nilla screens to remind us all how bad it is.
GREEN AF, this does not look good like at all tbh. The tiling of these textures is dog water. I was not going to release them at all, but everyone likes different things and if nothing else it is fun to look at them in-game. Just be warned the tiling is butt, at one point I really tried to fix the tiling but it somehow looked even worse so idk I give up but here they are existing.
The main file doesn't suffer from this, so I'd recommend using that instead, to each their own though!
Happy Modding!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,262 endorsements and 75k downloads
- BC7 format gives crisp visuals without the VRAM hit of uncompressed textures
- 2k option is perfect for mid-range rigs, 4k for those with GPU headroom
⚠️ Cons
- Only 3 textures—covers river stones but won't overhaul other terrain types
- Last updated in 2023, so no patches for newer Skyrim versions or mods
- Potential conflicts with other terrain overhauls that touch the same files
For Skyrim players who want sharper riverbeds without a full terrain overhaul. If you're running an ENB or just want better ground detail, this is a quick win. Skip if you're looking for a complete landscape texture pack—this only does river stones.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Pick the 2k version if you're on a mid-range GPU—4k can cause stutter in heavy areas
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to easily swap between 2k and 4k without manual file edits
- Load this after other terrain mods to ensure it overwrites them correctly
