📋 About This Mod
Retextures Skyhaven temple to 4K or 2K with handmade and improved textures. Baked normals and ambient occlusion shaded textures. Realistic lightning by overhauling some of the specular maps to give better and immersive lightning ( Yes its still compatible with other lightning mods).
Following the concept art and everything is 100% lorefriendly. The alduins wall is originally from bethesdas concept artist adam Adamowicz. I improved the alduins wall further with a look that fits the rest.

- Check your VRAM usage — 4K textures can be heavy on older GPUs; consider the 2K version if you experience stuttering.
- Since the mod is from 2017, test it in-game after installation to ensure it works with your current Skyrim version and other texture mods.
