Real Mountains

Description
This is a hi-res retexture of the mountains in Skyrim. The files are 2048x2048 in resolution, which is twice that of the old mountain textures. There should be no performance hit with this mod, also keep in mind that these textures may look odd with the dynamic snow in the game. Please leave a comment and rating if you like the mod.

Something needs to be done about the Categories for mods. This mod works for Landscape, or Graphics, maybe even Miscellaneous. But it has NOTHING to do with Armor, Clothing, Dragons etc. Those categories should be removed.

I'm TIRED of mods showing up in lists where they don't belong. Thumbs down for trying to game the system, Osmodius. You do a disservice to players here.

@Shinjinishi Then this mod is not the cause of your game crashes.

Game crashes before even finishing the "Bethesda" loading screen ever since downloading this mod, and deleting it afterwards isn't helping.

I am being a really big nit-picky nerd on this, more contrast and more lines does not equal more real looking rocks (they look more like a crinkled paperbag)... Rocks have jointing and weakness due to the materials they are made of, so like a limestone would have joints that are often 45 and 90 degrees, or have wavey-ness near fossils, can get a slow rounding from weathering, spotting, and staining. Sandstones often have banding, which can often switch directions, Granites, are made of a mixture of minerals some weaker than others such as the micas weather out faster than the quartz and so you end up with round bulbs. And lets not go into bedding orientations often changed due to upthrust.... I know I am being super silly about this, some like their water to look real I just want some rocks designed that look like real rocks.

Great mod I use this one all the time now the odsidian rock mod is one of the most attractive but the contrast with snow looks gritty..I use real mountains & dynamic snow the screen shots dont do this mod justice.Great work Osmodis.

I don't have the reference material to make 4k/8k versions. You could get the UV Mesh fix mod for the mountains and rocks, makes the texture less stretched out therefore increasing the sharpness.
