FAQ
Does this mod fill up a .esp slot?
No, it replaces the meshes/textures only while supplying its own texture paths for the changed models so as not to conflict with any other mods for any new textures
Where should this be placed in my load order?
After any conflicting mods - textures for Nif models will not interfere with any other textures as they have their own private directory
What ENB are you using?
Rudy ENB with Obsidian Weathers and Seasons
What format do my textures use?
BC7 (Linear, DX11+) + Mipmaps for all my texture files for high-quality compression
Do I take suggestions?
Yes suggestions are much appreciated, although I may not do all of them
What are Optimised versions?
Optimized versions have ½ res normal maps.
Texture/Nif-making process
Textures have to be converted from PBR to the Skyrim Engine (Gamebryo) using my own custom method if you have any questions or queries about how this then feel free to message me about your question(s) here.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 959 endorsements and over 112k downloads—clearly a go-to for plant texture upgrades.
- Up to 4K textures make nettles look crisp and detailed, perfect for screenshot lovers.
- Lightweight and focused—does exactly what it says without bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects nettles, so if you're looking for a broader flora overhaul, this won't cover other plants.
- Potential compatibility issues with other mods that modify the same plant meshes or textures—check your load order.
- No recent updates since March 2023, so it might not be patched for the latest Skyrim versions or other mods.
For Skyrim players who want to enhance the visual quality of plant life without overhauling the entire game. It's ideal for texture enthusiasts and modders building a high-fidelity setup. Skip if you're not bothered by vanilla nettles or if you prefer all-in-one flora overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage this replacer easily.
- Place this mod after any other mods that modify nettles in your load order to ensure it takes effect.
- If you're using an ENB, the 4K textures might impact performance on lower-end systems—consider the 2K version if available.
