A new standalone version of DanielCoffey's Book Covers Skyrim with cleaned and upscaled textures.
Original textures were BC1 and BC3 compression and 512 x 1024 resolution. Now they're BC7 compression and 2048 x 4096 resolution, with full mipmaps.
I have included the plugin from Book Covers Skyrim Updated by VishVadeva50 so you should download and endorse that mod as well as the original if you haven't yet. That plugin forwards changes from USSEP and applies a few other fixes. As a result, patches for the original may not work with this mod.
I recommend using this with Book Covers Skyrim - Lost Library 4K
If you use Legacy of the Dragonborn, you will need the LotD patch, which is an empty plugin that overwrite the main plugin. It has LotD flagged as a master to make sure that it loads afterwards. And you should of course use my upscaled textures for LotD.
Patches are Included in a FOMOD Installer thanks to VishVadeva50 for the following mods:
Apothecary
Complete Alchemy and Cooking Overhaul
Cutting Room Floor
Even Better Quest Objectives
H2H Trainers and Skill Books
Puzzle Variations
Spiderbros
The Choice is Yours
Thugs Not Assassins
Wintersun
Arachnomancy
Oblivion - An Atronach Forge Overhaul
Performance Options for Potato PCs
Mipmaps and BC7 compression reduce VRAM usage, especially when the files are cleaned of compression artifacts.
For Potato PCs, I've uploaded downscaled versions where the diffuse texture files are larger than normal and environment map files, which are less visible in game. This reduces VRAM usage considerably while maintaining higher visual quality, using the Octagon config files posted on this mod, which I recommend using if you have a Potato PC.
Both are full versions with FOMOD installer, not requiring the main file.
Choose either:
2k/1k for Baked Potatoes
or
1k/512 for Mashed Potatoes
If you want full 2k or full 1k, etc, then use Cathedral Assets Optimizer
Installation Instructions
I have prepared this as compressed BSAs, primarily because every file not in a BSA slows down loading times, so mods with a massive number of files like this one (1,571 texture files alone) can have a noticeable impact on loading times.
The extra plugins (with numeric digits) are esl-flagged esp files that are necessary for the BSAs to load.
If you want to use loose files instead, delete all plugins except 'Book Covers Skyrim.esp' and extract the BSAs

Skypocalypse is above all a place for COLLABORATION, a community hub for mutual aid to level up our skills and Skyrim itself.
This server is the host to Skypocalypse Academy, where modders and porters of all skill and experience levels assist each other as we dive ever deeper into transforming the bones of this magical game. Featuring an extensive library of tools and resources, The Academy is meant to be as educational as it is welcoming.
We know from experience that modding is an extremely addictive past-time and can be a slippery slope from creating a simple load order to porting mods to going full boat and attempting to rebuild Skyrim from the ground up. That's why we believe in a community that integrates Xbox and PC gamers along with porting noobs and experienced mod authors. We all have more to learn, and modding Skyrim to its extreme is a community effort to say the least.
