Large Nordic Fur Tent
Here's the deal with the large Nordic fur tent. I made this mesh because the vanilla mesh was a mess and the UV mapping was hell and retexturing it and figuring out that piss poor job of an asset would have taken me longer than just remaking the whole thing again. With that said, I tried to keep if vanilla friendly. I ALSO wanted to give the poor Khajiit caravan dude a shady spot to sit and be protected from the rain too, so I made an awning.
With that said, the fur is a custom texture. The wood, rope, and awning cloth texture is pulled from vanilla files. I did this to keep file size down and because it looks great paired with other Skyland mods because...this is a Skyland mod. But, if you have mods that rextures ropes01, whiterun market stall roofs, and whiterun wood, these textures will change and not look like they do in my images.
Extra notes:
I have no clue what else to say. These are 4k textures for the vanilla tents and a new mesh and textures for the large Nordic Fur tent. That's about it. They look great and a good deal better than vanilla tents. This has been a mod I've wanted to make for a long while and I'm glad it's finally done. The large Nordic fur tent was a bastard to make and ensure there was no clipping or issues where the game used the tent like with the Khajiit traveling camp etc.
Special thanks to Skyfall_515 for helping me generate collision as I didn't know how to do that before. ElSopa for pointing out that even I forget how to save normal maps and then wonder why my meshes are glossy in game. And JarlBallin89 for helping figure out why my meshes were disappearing and reappearing in game.
Enjoy! I hope this makes your gaming experience better.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive community trust (2,197 endorsements, 711k downloads) — this is a proven texture mod
- 4K quality that makes tents pop without overhauling the whole game
- From the Skyland series, so it matches the aesthetic of other Skyland retextures
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers two tent types — if you want all tents retextured, you'll need other mods
- 4K textures can be VRAM-heavy on lower-end rigs, so watch your performance
- Last updated in 2023 — not actively maintained, but textures don't break easily
For Skyrim players who want high-res tent textures that fit seamlessly into the world, especially if you're already using Skyland textures. Skip if you're on a low-end PC or prefer all-in-one texture packs.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install — no load order tweaks needed for textures.
- Pair this with other Skyland mods for a consistent look across landscapes and architecture.
- If you're on a 2K monitor, consider the 2K version (if available) to save VRAM — 4K is overkill for most screens.
