📋 About This Mod

Xelzaz' Telvanni Spellsword Armor 2K Retexture

What this mod does:

Changes Xelzaz' armor and hood textures with an AI-upscaled and more detailed version. The original files were only 1k with the hood being 512x512 px in resolution. My edits are all 2K. I left the normal maps mostly unchanged for now.

The changes are rather subtle since I just made this for personal use, but I like them, and the author of Xelzaz - BluePwnsU - gave me permission to upload.

Newest update improves and fixes all the compression artifacts and miscolorings. See comparison picture.

Since this is just textures, you can safely enable and disable this mod at any point.

Requirements:

You obviously need Xelzaz for this to work.

You don't need the original armor that Xelzaz uses - Telvanni Spellsword Armor by Alexmancer - but if you really want to, you can override their textures with mine so you can use them on the spellsword armor.

  • Simple drop-in replacement – no complex setup or new mechanics to learn
  • Community-approved with 654 endorsements, so it's a safe bet for visual upgrades

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in April 2023 – might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods that alter Xelzaz

📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have Xelzaz installed first – this mod only replaces his armor textures, so it won't work without the follower mod.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install this – it's a simple texture replacer, but a mod manager makes it easy to uninstall if you don't like the look.
  • If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check that the mod is compatible with your game version – it was last updated in 2023, so it should work with most recent versions, but always verify.
