📋 About This Mod
A Riften texture overhaul adding a touch of grime, aged wood and moss.
________________________________________________________________
This is my very first attempt at a full city retexture and I am happy to finally call it 'done'. It took years off my life (I am a slow person). It includes a lot of moss and ivy. Yes, the moss growing outwards like that is the intended look, it can happen.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 202 endorsements and over 27k downloads.
- Parallax effect adds real depth to Riften's surfaces, making it stand out from flat retextures.
- Offers 4k and 2k versions so you can balance visual quality with performance.
⚠️ Cons
- Parallax textures require specific mods like ENB or a parallax-enabled setup, which can be a hassle to configure.
- Only covers Riften, so you'll need other mods for the rest of Skyrim's cities.
- Potential conflicts with other Riften texture overhauls—make sure to load it correctly.
For Skyrim players who want to give Riften a grimy, detailed makeover with parallax depth and don't mind tweaking their ENB or shader setup. Skip if you're on a low-end rig or prefer a clean, polished look—this adds grime, not shine.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have a parallax-enabled ENB or a mod like 'Parallax Shader Fix' installed, or the textures won't show their depth.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting other texture mods.
- Start with the 2k version if you're unsure about performance; you can upgrade to 4k later.
