SMIM is a great mod, but the installer doesn't give you any option to change the textures of the upper furnitures. The upper furnitures were designed so that they will blend in with the noble furnitures. In the game, it is very common for upper and noble furnitures to be mixed together. The HD texture options for the upper furnitures are included in the mod, but there isn't any option for them in the installer. This would not be an issue if the installer doesn't mismatch the upper furniture textures with the common furniture textures. However, it does indeed mismatch them unless you choose the low-res texture option. Not only do the SMIM upper furnitures look bad, but they look even worst when mixed with the noble furnitures. This mod fixes the error in the installer by providing the correctly packaged textures. It has 2K and 4K options for "Smooth" and "Weathered Dark" upper furniture textures. This is also a fix for XilaMonstrr's SMIM 4K - Cleaned and Upscaled Textures for Static Mesh Improvement Mod. That mod also includes the textures but also has no option to install them. The 2K textures are the original textures that comes with SIMM. The 4K textures are the cleaned and upscaled textures from XilaMonstrr's mod. The "Smooth Dark" options are edited versions of XilaMonstrr's SMIM 4K textures and have new normals. They are made to look better and to blend in better with ElSopa - Noble Furniture HD SE. The main options will only fix the upper furnitures. They don't affect textures for common and noble furnitures.

SMIM UpFurnSmoothDark
A darker and slightly reddish retexture of the SMIM upper furnitures. This will make the upper furnitures look like they are made of more expensive and higher quality wood.

This has 1K through 4K options. Install these options after other texture mods.
SMIM NobleChairDark
A darker retexture of the SMIM noble chairs. This will blend in better with SMIM UpFurnSmoothDark and ElSopa - Noble Furniture HD SE. This has 1K through 4K options. Install these options after other mesh and texture mods.
NobleChairMeshes
These are vanilla meshes for the noble chairs. Install this after SMIM or other mesh replacers to restore texture paths. Use this if the texture replacer you want to use doesn't work with SMIM, SFCO, or other mesh replacers.
Silver Objects SMIMed Floating Goblet Fix
A mesh replacer that fixes the floating static Jewelled Goblet from the Silver Objects SMIMed mod. This mod lowers the mesh of the static version of the Jewelled Goblet from the Silver Objects SMIMed mod to avoid floating issues in the Thieves Guild's headquarters and mods that uses that static. This should be install after the Silver Objects SMIMed mod. This patch will be remove when it is no longer needed.

NOTES
Mods used in screenshots:
aMidianBorn Buildings and Landscapes SE, ElSopa - Noble Furniture HD SE, Rudy HQ - Miscellaneous SE, RUGNAROK - Special Edition, SMIM, SMIM 4K - Cleaned and Upscaled Textures for Static Mesh Improvement Mod, Snazzy Furniture and Clutter Overhaul, This Is Jorrvaskr
Note that the main files are fixes rather than texture replacers as they are the original SMIM textures. The optional Smooth Dark options are replacers. They make upper furnitures look like they are made of more expensive and higher quality wood. They were made to match with ElSopa - Noble Furniture HD SE and other rich looking noble furniture texture mods. However, they will look too saturated if you are using mods such as Noble Skyrim Mod HD-2K. For those mods, the original SMIM textures are a better match. For other replacers, check the mods below. See the screenshots for a comparison.
