📋 About This Mod
Replaced the Stone Top for the Vanilla Blacksmith Forge. Other textures in image are from various mods, including Skyrim 2020 Parallax by Pfuscher.
I use SMIM, it's possible that I didn't use the blacksmith option. I've installed so many texture mods over the years. So I'm adding this basic texture if anyone else has been bothered by the ugly vanilla stone on top of the forge.
BC7 textures. Won't work in LE version of Skyrim. Works for SE and AE.
No esp. Just a texture replacer.
Does not work with Skyrim 3D Blacksmith. I would have to make 4 new textures.
This is a simple texture replacer that swaps the vanilla stone top on the blacksmith forge for a higher-quality 2k-4k version. It's for Skyrim Special Edition and Anniversary Edition players who find the default forge stone ugly. No ESP, just drop-in textures, but it won't work with Skyrim 3D Blacksmith.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 253 endorsements and over 9k downloads.
- Simple drop-in texture replacer, no plugin hassle.
- Includes both normal and light versions for different tastes.
⚠️ Cons
- Incompatible with Skyrim 3D Blacksmith, so if you use that, skip this.
- Only affects the stone top, not the entire forge—so if you wanted a full overhaul, this is limited.
- Last updated in January 2022, so it might not be actively maintained for future updates.
For Skyrim SE/AE players who are bothered by the vanilla forge stone and want a quick visual upgrade without adding a plugin. If you use Skyrim 3D Blacksmith, this isn't for you. It's a niche cosmetic fix, not a full forge overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no load order worries.
- If you use SMIM, you might have a different forge mesh, so check if the texture applies correctly in-game.
- Make sure you're on Skyrim SE or AE, not LE, because BC7 textures won't work on oldrim.
