Modder ‘ciathyza’ has released a new 4K HD Texture Pack for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. According to its description, Tamrielic Textures is a texturing project with the aim to provide brand-new, high quality, immersive textures for Skyrim.
The first milestone focuses on landscape textures and is available for download. This pack contains a complete work of replacement maps for terrains, mountains, dirt cliffs, and roads. Furthermore, one of the key directives of this project is to not leave any texture untouched.
This project comes in three forms: 4K, 2K and 1K. The 4K version has most of the textures in 4K resolution for maximum detail. Moreover, the mountain textures are in 8K quality. Thus, the modder suggests using a GPU with 6 or more GB of VRAM.
It’s also worth noting that Tamrielic Textures is compatible with SMIM and includes compatible textures for SMIM bridge meshes.
In addition, future versions of this project will cover many other areas of Skyrim such as villages, cities, dungeons and caves.
You can download the mod for the original version of Skyrim from here. The modder will also release a version for Skyrim Special Edition at a later date.
Lastly, here are some screenshots that showcase these new 4K HD textures in all their glory!

Every time there is a post about a new texture pack I cringe. Not because they don’t look incredible, but because the next Elder Scrolls is going to look so BAD in comparison. ES VI won’t stand a chance visually.
if its not a always online game.
Didn’t hurt Skyrim which looked terrible compared to modded Oblivion. It had ONE feature that elevated it above Oblivion graphically (real-time shadows). Most people don’t use mods. The bulk of the audience is on consoles any way.
It’ll look bad during a year.
And then, when mods start coming out, it’ll look a thousand times better than this, as long as it has a much better engine, which shouldn’t be hard to do.
Apparently they are using 3D scans this time around. If anything, now it might be difficult to match the quality because a lot of modders won’t have real world scans of things. Human characters made by hand will stick out like sore thumbs in a game like that.
I’m hoping somewhere some entity releases a lot of 3D scanned faces as some sort of creative commons license.
I believe that may be the best one I’ve seen yet.
Should update it to say its actually out now and released for SE. Instead of coming at a later date.
The best so far
Hmm.. I must resist the not applying this to Skyrim VR.
Quixel megascans for the win…!
Insane quality!
It looks rly nice but it is unplayable in long run even if fps wil be good loading Times will kill 100% of fun
Why do you think that? The 4K texture pack for Final Fantasy XV is ~45 gigabytes and it doesn’t make load times crazy… Most people that would be using this pack have SSD’s. Not really an issue.
Some great textures, but do the ground textures have those plants and flowers in them? If so, those tend to look like garbage when actually playing the game.
so they dont stop until tes6
