📋 About This Mod
Skyland Windows offers all new 2k textures for the windows throughout Skyrim. Covering all cities, dungeons, ships, Thirsk Mead Hall, and the Dark Brotherhood stained glass. New hand drawn vectors were drawn based off of the vanilla textures to create height maps meaning sharper textures and more accurate details even down to the smallest bolt and scratch. The height maps were used to create new textures in Adobe Substance Designer and Mixer for modern textures of the highest quality that you see in current gen video games.
