Modder ‘winedave’ has released a brand new texture pack for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. This 8K Texture Pack features new landscape textures that were not included in his previous texture packs. Moreover, these textures were created with 3D Scans for optimal results.
As a bonus, I’ve also included below all the other texture packs from winedave. Basically, you’re looking at a texture overhaul that weights around 5.5GB.
Going into slightly more details, the Septentrional Landscapes mod improves the game’s landscape textures. The other packs also improve the textures for beach, shore and ocean floor textures. Moreover, they improve Blended Roads textures, snow textures, mountain textures, and Mossy Whiterun Stonefloor.
For those that want to reduce the size of this overhaul, the modder has provided 2K and 4K versions of his textures. However, we suggest downloading the 8K versions for the best visual results.
In order to showcase the new landscape textures, the modder released the following screenshots.
You can download the Septentrional Landscapes texture pack from here. As for all the other 8K Texture Packs, you can download them from the modder’s NexusMods page.
Have fun!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Perhaps it’s time to brush off Skyrim for another run through. It’s been a long time now. Perhaps………
Thanks for writing this article John. always fun when my mods catches the attention someone 🙂
cant wait to check these out on my crappy 4k screen! now i can die happy.
Texture resolution and screen resolution have nothing to do with each other.
Yes, they do. The higher the output resolution the more apparent low res textures become.
“we suggest downloading the 8K versions for the best visual results”
Utterly pointless for Skyrim apart from a handful of large size textures for large objects such as mountains. For Skyrim specifically it’s overkill to use 4K textures, much less 8K textures, for the vast majority of the game’s assets.
Wish there was “modern” character models and animations. All these graphic mods look stunning. But sadly they also make Bethesda’s models and animations look “out of place”.
Still going to track this mod
