📋 About This Mod
The texture files from the original mod were a mix of 512, 1K and 2K, with a few 256 files, in BC1 compression. I have cleaned all files of compression artifacts caused by these older compression formats, and then upscaled them all by 4x, to a maximum resolution of 4K. Then I converted them to BC7 compression and generated full mipmaps. I cleaned and upscaled them using Cupscale/ESRGAN and then finalized with NVIDIA Texture Tools and Octagon.
Requires the original mod; overwrite with this one.
Uses the same FOMOD as the original, so if you want to use the custom options then just make sure to select all the same options during the FOMOD installation.
Thank you to raiserfx for creating Ruins Clutter Improved and for granting me permission to modify and publish these texture files.
Performance Options for Potato PCs
Mipmaps and BC7 compression reduce VRAM usage, especially when the files are cleaned of compression artifacts.
For Potato PCs, I've uploaded a downscaled version where the diffuse texture files are larger than normal and environment map files, which are less visible in game. This reduces VRAM usage considerably while maintaining higher visual quality, using the Octagon config files posted on this mod, which I recommend using if you have a Potato PC.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (460,919) shows this is a go-to for texture enthusiasts
- 1,876 endorsements from the community — people are happy with it
- 4K upscaling makes dungeon clutter look crisp without changing the original feel
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in December 2022 — might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or mods
- Requires the original Ruins Clutter Improved mod, so you need to install that first
- 4K textures can be heavy on VRAM — not ideal for low-end rigs
For Skyrim players who want to enhance dungeon visuals without overhauling the whole game. If you already use Ruins Clutter Improved and have the hardware to handle 4K textures, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you're on a potato PC or prefer performance over fidelity.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original Ruins Clutter Improved installed first, as this mod replaces its textures.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it overwrite the original mod's files when prompted.
- Check your VRAM usage in-game — if you see stuttering, consider using the 2K version if available.
