📋 About This Mod
SavrenX made some of my favorite creatures for Solstheim, so it's very exciting to present some higher-resolution textures made from the original assets.
The original textures were a mix of 512, 1K and 2K resolution. I have upscaled them using chaiNNer and ESRGAN models, and re-compressed in modern BC7 format with full mipmaps to a max of 4K resolution.
Requires the original mod
Performance Option 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
- Community favorite with 353 endorsements and over 158k downloads
- Performance-friendly options mean you can get better visuals without tanking your FPS
- Potato resolutions are a godsend for low-end rigs or VR players
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers Solstheim creatures, so you'll need other mods for the rest of Skyrim's fauna
- Last updated in December 2022, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest game patches
- Potential conflicts with other creature texture overhauls that touch the same files
For Skyrim players who want to spruce up Solstheim's creatures without a massive performance hit. If you're on a potato PC, the potato resolutions are a lifesaver. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or if you only care about mainland creatures.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting other texture mods accidentally.
- If you're on a low-end PC, start with the potato resolution option and test your FPS in Solstheim before upgrading.
- Check your load order to ensure this mod loads after other texture overhauls to get the intended look.
