A few new 8K and 4K Texture Packs surfaced for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim this week. As such, and instead of dedicating separate articles to each one of them, we’ve decided to collect them and share them in one big article.
Starting with the 8K Texture Packs, XilaMonstrr released two packs that overhaul the game’s dragons. The first pack cleans and upscales Bellyache retextures of dragons from Skyrim and DLCs to 8K resolution. The second 8K Texture Pack adds 13 new Dragon species at 50 spawn points. Both of these packs were originally created by Bellyache.
XilaMonstrr has also improved Bellyache’s High-Quality Animal and Creature Texture Pack. The modder has cleaned up and upscaled Bellyache’s textures to 4K. You can download this enhanced version of this pack from here. Do note that contrary to all the other texture packs, this one is only for the original/legacy version.
Furthermore, XilaMonstrr has upscaled Brumbek’s SMIM Texture Pack. The original SMIM textures were a mix of 1K, 2K and 4K. So basically, XilaMonstrr went ahead and upscaled all of these textures to 4K. You can download this pack from here.
Lastly, XilaMonstrr released a 4K version of Book Covers Skyrim from DanielCoffey. This pack overhauls the textures of all the readable books, journals, and notes.
Below you can find some comparison screenshots between the vanilla and the overhauled textures. These screenshots will give you an idea of what you can expect from these Texture Packs.
Have fun!

How many packs more will we get?!
Texture pacj for this, for that and also for that.
Can those modders finally do a colaboration and make one AiO texture pack !?
This looks like they are doing a race of who will get more views, downloads, likes and money on Patronite/Kofi etc.
Skyrim modding scene is terrible.
Skyrim modding scene is the easiest there is, wtf are you on about
Easiest for what?
What do you think mods do
Elaborate.
Elaborate on what? Use english, fool
You said “What do you think mods do”
So, elaborate on what mods do, and what set Skyrim mods apart from other game mods.
Your intellectual dishonesty is stinking up the whole site, you’re in a PC gaming site, in a mods article, and you need me to explain? I mean, gladly, but not to you.
Try clicking the links in the article.
Let’s go back to the original claim, you said “Skyrim modding scene is the easiest there is”, then i asked “easiest for what?” and after that you refused to answer the questions. But sure, i’m the dishonest intellectual here…
Cause you ask crap questions.
Easiest for modding. What about it, what is it you don’t understand?
“Easiest for modding.”
To make a mod, or to install a mod? See, i ask crap questions because you give crap answers or follow up with even dumber questions.
If you are talking about installing a mod, then you are wrong, there are easier games out there, stand alone mods are the easiest, just download, unpack and play. And what makes Skyrim complicated is that you have to hunt for hundreds of different mods, and have to account for stability and compatibility, too much quantity for little quality.
Now we’re talking.
I am talking about installing mods. There are easier games, sure, but none with the complexity that skyrim has. You can fully overhaul all of the game’s aspects, unlike (easier, admittedly) games like Factorio, where you have standalone mods that overhaul the game just by changing some recipes and resources.
You don’t need to “hunt down” skyrim mods. There’s plenty content creators like MxR, ESO, PredCaliber, Gopher, Camelworks, etc that do mod install guides or highlights.
And even if step by step handholding guides are still too difficult, there are install tools like Wabbajack, or the Nexus collections, that install a pre configured and curated mod list.
You used to need to account for stability and compatibility. Nowadays, Vortex just tells you if there’s a problem.
I do not believe there is a single other game that allows this depth of modding with such ease.
It sounds like you had a mediocre at best experience modding skyrim. I would suggest looking somewhere else for a mod guide, or just grab one of the nexus collections.
They have their own vision and is purely a hobby
Some nice textures there. Thanks for the heads-up and ignore those whining about it!
Consoomer gonna consume.
Says the guy with 5k mods.
