📋 About This Mod
Tomato's Markarth and Dwemer Ruins
Includes everything except metalI aimed to keep it dark and dingy in ruins and bright and mossy in the city itself.I may revise some textures over time as I made a TON of extra maps and had many many ideas while making this.
It's possible I will return to metals but for the time being metal was draining my motivation to work on this further.
Features
- This mod has complex material support but you can also use it without.
- I've left metals out due to the monopoly on dwemer metals and what i said above.
I also just wasn't happy with how complex material applied to metal via ENB.
Required
- Requires ENB/Community Shaders for Complex Material
- Recommended to use Markarth Fixed AF for better meshes
- Parallaxgen needed for mesh generation
- Many thanks to Skyking for some resources used to make this.
-I hand drew majority of the height maps for this mod and took some liberties straying from vanilla carvings in a handful of places.
Hopefully you all enjoy it. I may revise some textures over time, i made a TON of extra maps and had many many ideas while making this.
I may also return to metal sometime in the future. For the time being metal was draining my motivation to work on this further.

- Regular updates keep it compatible with current game patches
⚠️ Cons

- Potential conflicts with other Markarth or Dwemer texture overhauls—check your load order
For Skyrim modders who want to make Markarth and Dwemer ruins pop with realistic depth and detail. If you're running a high-end PC with a good GPU and love visual overhauls, this is a must-have. Skip if you're on a low-end system or prefer simpler texture mods without parallax requirements.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure your ENB or shader mod supports complex parallax, or the effect won't show.
- Place this mod after other texture overhauls in your load order to ensure it takes priority.
- If you experience stuttering, consider using the 2K version if available—4K can be heavy.
