A separate version of a Vampire Lord retexture from my mod Vampire Lord Overhaul. Includes 8192x8192 resolution skin textures for both male and female Vampire Lords. This mod only includes skin and vanilla armor textures, not the other features such as glowing eyes or bigger wings.

Original 2K Retexture


New 8K Retexture


It is funny that in vanilla game a "Vampire Lord" does not look as much intimidating as an ordinary troll. Retexture mods enable us to overcome this to an extent. Nevertheless, VL texture mods are either very old or just too vague to make any difference really. For example, DrFring's demonic retexture is still widely used and looks really cool but it falls behind compared to today's graphics. But not anymore!

Old retextures were compressed with DXT5/BC3. I decompressed them to get rid of any artifacts caused by old compression, then I upscaled the textures to 8K resolution with slight color adjustments and then compressed them with BC7.

Compatible with Mist Form power. You will become totally invisible just like vanilla, instead of being transparent.
Expect even higher quality (not resolution) skin textures or some different color skin variants in the future.

Check my other mod Vampire Lord Overhaul for new armors, glowing eyes, bigger wings, new hairs, new wing texture, glowing Daedric Runes on the body and more!

Note: This retexture is already included in VLO.

This mod only replaces vanilla Vampire Lord textures and it is compatible with other VL mods.
Install with your favorite mod manager or manually. Load order does not matter.



Known Issues:
Spoiler:

  • Female retexture uses wrong normal map and its texture looks bad for this reason. (will be fixed in 1.1)
