📋 About This Mod
I am hoping to update this mod with other glass modification requests. Currently it is only targeting the common opacity texture used for windows but I hope to extend it to cockpits and other materials as well. If you see ugly glass while playing the game... let me know and I will try to make it better.
Changelog

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,189 endorsements and 39,190 downloads.
- Directly addresses a common annoyance—hard-to-see-through glass.
- Lightweight mod that doesn't overhaul the whole game, just fixes one thing.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in September 2023—may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim patches or mods.
For Skyrim players who are tired of squinting through murky glass in windows, bottles, or other objects. If you want a quick visual improvement without a heavy overhaul, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod replaces textures, it's safe to install with a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2—just download and activate.
- If you're using other texture mods, load order matters: place Project Better Glass after other texture overhauls to ensure its glass textures take priority.
- Check the mod's files to see if there are optional versions (e.g., different transparency levels) before installing.
