About this mod

2x upscaled textures using modern techniques and neural networks for every architecture item in the base game, providing extremely crisp, clean, high resolution vanilla textures. DLC content included.

This was built off of Cleaned SSE Textures so technically speaking, its 4x resolution from the original Skyrim LE textures! (2x SE)


As far as I'm aware, these are the cleanest upscales on Nexus Mods. Most, if not all other upscale projects are older and used either the original LE textures for the upscale (which is half the resolution as a base) or the upscaled textures from SE which had a lot of artifacts. Also, older upscale methods are far less sophisticated and accurate. I used the BSRGANx2 model by cszn for these, using PyTorch. 

Project Clarity uses different upscaling methods, and support has been dropped as of October 31st, 2023. (RIP)

This is great to also use as a mod to cover items that aren't already touched by your other mods (and they most likely all aren't)


Be sure to load this mod before any conflicting mods, so that the other mods files get loaded over these ones, and the proper textures are used for those mods assets.

All files are in BC7 Max format. Texture maps are not upscaled, because upscaling them has proven to be extremely difficult to get accurate even with dedicated texture map upscalers, and they provide basically no visual difference at the cost of install space and VRAM.
