📋 About This Mod
Only the Voices work.
THIS MOD IS NO LONGER UNDER DEVELOPMENT FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
Time constraints, life, and other reasons have made it difficult to keep this mod updated. If you would like to continue or update this project, please reach out to us first. Otherwise, there are plenty of other HD Texture packs on the Nexus for you to enjoy.
Thank you for your support :)
The aim of HD Valheim is to replace all of Valheim's textures and meshes with my own, original HD assets.
They will be hand-crafted, each carefully completed. The end result will look like a AAA game.
In other words: less Minecraft, more Skyrim.
For now, all of the textures are upscaled x4 and packaged into .assets files. The reason for this is twofold: faster load times, and the ability to override my assets via the Custom Meshes/Textures/etc. mods by the esteemed aedenthorn.
Please provide bugs and glitches in the bugs section.
If someone has already posted a bug, please don't repost it.
This mod is a work in progress, and I will continuously update it.
I repeat, this mod is a work in progress. There will be graphical glitches, and I will patch them as soon as possible.
Thanks for your patience!

- Huge community trust (4,187 endorsements) — this is a well-loved texture pack.
- Massive download count (349k) means it's been tested by tons of players.
- Simple premise: just makes the game look better, no gameplay changes.
⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture mod, make sure to back up your original textures folder before replacing anything.
- Check if the mod requires BepInEx or a mod manager — if not, manual installation is straightforward.
- After installing, verify the game launches and textures load correctly; if you see pink textures, something went wrong.
