While I don't normally care for using 4K textures, I think this is one of the mods I'd quite like it for since Bethesda doesn't seem to hold back on scaling up cave objects by a lot.
wow good job. Finally a cave texture mod with textures better than vanilla. Pfuscher textures are too inconsistent and seem like they were plucked from various different alien planets and dont belong in skyrim at all. I dont think the average person has any clue what a good texture is honestly.
Easily the best cave textures for SSE. Only issue I have is some of the rocks on the walls appear "stretched" so the textures don't look as high res. Seems like a weird mesh issue.
I was coming here to report the same thing. Stretched-looking texture on some rocks which is a real eyesore unfortunately. Would be the best Cave retexture otherwise.
*Updated* I found the offending textures for stretched meshes: cavebasewall03 and cavebasewall05
Other cave retextures work better on these because I don't know why. I thought it was the mesh but Skyrim Remastered and Northfire have very detailed textures of those same models
I agree if somehow these specific textures could be redone to account for the bad meshes it easily becomes the best cave retexture. An easy bypass is to upscale and offer 4K, the blur will be mitigated; honestly it needs 4K anyway to lock in 'best cave retexture' bc at 2K a lot of the nonstretched textures are blurry up close
I just went through all available cave retextures. If you're a realism freak like me, the next best options are Skyrim Remastered, Underground, or Northfire's cave retextures. They work somewhat okay if you replace just cavebasewall03/05 or are on a similar level of realism with this mod.
I was using Skyrim realistic overhaul as I like the uniform vanilla style, but in hi res. I was in a cave, looked at the floor and was like yuck. so i found this mod, installed. It's great, realistic, stays true to the vanilla style, at least close enough to not stand out.

are you planning to make the remaining textures, like Ice Caves?
I know most these are 4K, but since its interior most our PC's can definately handle it, ya know?
great mods, great artistry, you are a master. your work is highly valued, and thank you for your contributions.
GOOD WORK man! You should make more textures!

BTW. Not sure if this is intentional, but a few of the same textures seem to be re-used for multiple textures.
