Permissions and credits
UPDATE:

  • Initial SSE support added!
  • Check Files tab and download SSE 2K Textures file. It includes ZoneRaven's portal fix, and will work with both Skyrim and Skyrim Special Edition.
  • Let me know if there are any issues.



DESCRIPTION:

  • 2K retexture of Snow Elf architecture, introduced in Dawnguard DLC. It affects all buildings in Forgotten Vale, Inner Sanctum, and all Wayshrines. It was first created as optional add-on for Skyrim Wayshrines by Pharros.


FEATURES:

  • Increased resolution: 2K diffuse and normal maps, 1K environment masks.
  • Lighter, more polished marble, shinier metal, deeper grooves, and more details on the statues.
  • Hexagonal marble floor that follows Snow Elf style.
  • Textures are made from scratch, but they keep the same style as vanilla.


INSTALLATION:

  • NMM users: Download, Activate, and overwrite when prompted.
  • ModOrganizer users: Download and Activate.
  • Manual: unzip, and copy textures folder to Skyrim/Data folder.


REQUIREMENTS:

  • Updated Skyrim
  • Dawnguard DLC


COMPATIBILITY:

  • Yes.


RECOMMENDED MODS:

  • Any mod that adds Snow Elf architecture will be retextured as well.



CHANGELOG:

  • Added Wayshrine Fix by ZoneRaven to the main file.
  • Updated texture format to work with SSE.


FUTURE PLANS (ON HOLD):

  • Version closer to vanilla (greenish metal, more scratches on marble...).
  • Default rectangular floor.


CREDITS:

  • Bethesda for Skyrim/Dawnguard
  • Big thanks to Pharros for initial idea and help.
  • Big thanks to Madcat221 and ZoneRaven for bug fix.
