📋 About This Mod

After a long break from Skyrim modding, I've decided to return with a remaster of my mountain textures. Using real stone photographs and 3D scans.

This was intended to be an update of my other mod, but I decided to re-release it.

This comes in 2 colours:

  • []

    Darker, more Brownish in colour

    []

    A harsher, colder Grey

    Resolutions

    8K - Ultra fidelity

    4K - High quality, no performance issues for mid-high end systems

    2K - Medium quality, better performance

    1K - Ultra performance

    Designed to be used with Majestic Mountains or Better Dynamic Snow v2. 11. 0, but not necessary.

    PARALLAX HERE 

    - Just install the parallax maps file, and meshes from somewhere else, and you're good to go! But please note that it will not be perfect.

✨ Key Features

Photorealistic UHD mountain textures with two color options: grey and dark brown.
Available in 8K, 4K, 2K, and 1K resolutions to suit different performance levels.
Compatible with Majestic Mountains, a popular mountain overhaul mod.
Parallax compatible for enhanced depth effects.
Active community support with 453 endorsements and 16,823 downloads.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 453 endorsements and over 16k downloads, so you know it's solid.
  • Gives you four resolution options from 8K down to 1K, so you can balance looks and performance.
  • Works with Majestic Mountains, so you can stack it with other mountain overhauls without conflicts.

⚠️ Cons

  • No recent updates since December 2022, so it might not be patched for the latest Skyrim versions.
  • 8K textures will hammer your VRAM—make sure your GPU can handle it before going big.
  • Parallax support might require extra setup or specific ENB settings to actually see the effect.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want their mountains to look photorealistic and are willing to trade some performance for visual fidelity. If you're using Majestic Mountains and want a texture upgrade, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you're on a low-end rig or prefer a more stylized look.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Pick the 2K version if you're on a mid-range GPU—8K will crush your frame rate.
  • If you're using Majestic Mountains, install this after it so the textures overwrite correctly.
  • For parallax to work, make sure you have an ENB that supports parallax and enable it in the ENB settings.
