📋 About This Mod
This is a port of Fickji's mod for LE. You can find more information on the original page (& endorse them there if you like the mod, it's them who did the real work ^^).
I'm also uploading an optional retexture shared on reddit by Disitinerant, it works both on LE and SSE and replaces the images with four John William Waterhouse paintings.
The port was already included in my modlist Exploring Skyrim, but it was time it had its own page.
- If you're also using the Blue Palace Frescos mod (due to permission issues I can't publish a port of that one), here's a few more options, once again by Disitinerant.
- If you are using Palace and Castles Enhanced, you need a patch you can download here.

📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,400 endorsements and 134,000 downloads.
- Simple cosmetic addition that fits the game's aesthetic.
- Optional retexture gives you a choice of art styles.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020, so may not be compatible with the latest game patches.
- Only affects one location, so it's a minor visual change.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter the Blue Palace interior.
For Skyrim players who want to add a touch of art to Solitude's Blue Palace without overhauling the whole game. If you're a completionist who appreciates subtle visual details, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or major overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage this mod easily.
- If you want the Waterhouse retexture, make sure to install it after the main mod so it overwrites correctly.
- Check for compatibility patches if you use other mods that modify the Blue Palace interior.
