📋 About This Mod
HD Honeycomb by dpillari is IMHO the best looking honeycomb model available, but it has a few issues that I wanted to fix...
1) Reduced the number of tris from 22K to 7k without seeing any noticable quality degradation
2) Make the honey more transparent to see some of the honeycomb underneath
3) Remove the bright gold shinyness from the honeycomb itself, just leaving the honey parts more shiny
The original HD Honeycomb mod is required (for the environment map). You can compare the pics to see if you prefer this option over the original.

HD Honeycomb by dpillari
Snazzy HD Honeycomb is a texture/model overhaul for the HD Honeycomb mod, reducing triangle count from 22K to 7K, increasing honey transparency, and removing the bright gold shininess from the honeycomb while keeping honey shiny. Requires the original HD Honeycomb mod. A performance-friendly visual upgrade for players who want a more realistic honeycomb look.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Performance boost: 15K fewer triangles means better FPS, especially on lower-end rigs
- Visual improvement: more transparent honey and less shiny gold makes it look more natural
- Community-tested: 67 endorsements and 12k downloads show it's got a following
⚠️ Cons
- Requires the original HD Honeycomb mod, so it's not standalone
- Only changes honeycomb visuals—if you're not into honeycomb details, this is pointless
- Compatibility risk: may conflict with other honeycomb texture overhauls or mods that alter the same meshes
For Skyrim modders who love detailed textures and want a performance-friendly honeycomb upgrade. If you already use HD Honeycomb and want better visuals without the FPS hit, this is for you. Skip if you don't care about honeycomb aesthetics or don't want to install the base mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you install the original HD Honeycomb mod first, then overwrite with this one.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to easily manage the file overwrite and avoid conflicts.
- Check the mod's images to compare the original vs. this version before installing to see if you like the changes.
