About this mod
This is a compilation of 35 different texture modes. There are 8 mods that have their ESPs merged into one. The rest are optional but highly recommended downloads.
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs

Note to all users. This is not the files created by the origional authors of the mods. Their work need to be downloaded seperately. I do not have permissions nore want to get permission for their texture files. I only created merges for their ESP files.
To follow up with the theme of graphics the following mods are involved. Note that if you decide to add a different texture mode for different items I am not responsible for things breaking. This is a template for you to follow to improve (1) the worlds' graphic, misc item graphics, and some armor and weapons.
Getting Started:
You are required to install the following mods. Reminder for all you can choose what texture quality you want for each, the ESP files are the same for all these mods to my extensive knowledge.

Deploying Files:
While deploying you may see that some of the files are redundant. I honestly override the files depending on what type of texture I'd prefer. But if you are unsure, please follow this rule: "ALWAYS USE RECOMMENDED FIRST." If for some reason the override is not recommended make sure you override SMIM files or Noble Skyrim files. Other overrides that are not recommended can be mixed and matched because they are just texture files.
Mods that Use ESP files:
There are a couple of mods that use the ESP file. They are the following:
- CC's Enhanced Ore Veins SSE Edition
- Static Mesh Improvement Mod - SMIM
- Book Covers of Skyrim
- aMidianBorn Book of Silence SE
- JK's Skyrim
- Embers HD
- Skyrim Flora Overhaul SE
- RUSTIC SOULGEMS - Special Edition
These are not just texture files but also extend the game's ESP by creating variations or animations. So make sure that they are listed under your esp files (Vortex -> Plugins tab). Disable their ESPs and then activate this mod esp only. And you are DONE.

No Special Order:
- kryptopyr
- jkrojmal
- johnskyrim
- vurt
- AnTiWoMaAgNoT
- Brumbek
- Shutt3r
- JDAnchor
- mindfIux
- ClearanceClarence

Please consider endorsing their individual mods as ALL OF THEM ARE GREAT MASTERPIECES. I am not a graphic designer in any way. I only am creating an all-in-one tutorial and patch here.

If there are any issues or load problems please let me know. in the discussion tab.
Please ensure that the load orders are correct, overrides are either recommended or SMIM base then Noble Skyrim, and then Everything else. I will detail my deploy overrides later here.
