Simply Dirt Roads removes the stone pavements from Skyrim’s roads, leaving behind the dirt from the existing landscape textures. It does not add new dirt textures, but uses the vanilla or modded landscape textures you have installed ( Like Skyland, Atlantean, Tomato, My Vanaheimr Series, Dirt02 Replacer, etc... ). This ensures maximum compatibility with most texture packs and mods, except Blended Roads.
Features
- Removes road paving to reveal underlying dirt, fallforestdirt, reachdirt and snow textures (vanilla or modded).
- Compatible with Parallax and Complex Parallax.
- footstep sounds for Snowy Roads.
- Support of Footprints.
Patches
Lux Via Patch by SBModding
Simply Dirt Roads - Seasons Compatibility Patch by Flo2005
Installation
Download the version you prefer and install it with your favorite mod manager. Let Simply Dirt Roads overwrite everything in your load order.
If you want to benefit the textures of a texture pack like skyland, tomato, etc., overwrite my mod in the left panel ( Folder's Panel ) and install the Landscape Patch after the texture pack used. For the right panel ( Esp's Panel ), just overwrite your Landscape pack's esp with Simply's esp.
Incompatibility
Blended Roads is incompatible due to the similar modifications to the roads meshes.

Final Note
There’s another mod with a similar name floating around, but rest assured, I only work with vanilla meshes, no terrain edits here ! 😄
And really works with the complex parallax material ( without the need for a patch for Terrain Parallax Blending Fix ).
