as the title says i'm retexturing my skyrim, i've been wanting to do this for a while now but never had the time till now

 

I'm looking for a more 'gritty' and 'rustic' look while still looking amazing kinda retextures

 

I want to know what anyone here would suggest for obtaining this

 

feel free to list anything that comes to mind, even if it's not a 'retexture' per say but still looks like it would fit the bill (you can even do swords/bows all the way up to creatures if you'd like!)

 

 

I'm also looking into better looking outfits too to match this! I've got Hedge mage armor but I need some stuff for vilja! While divine elegance is great It feels a bit too... 'modern' for me now days

 

I need something each for her armored and unarmored wardrobe!

 

Like when she's in an urbane area i need a cloth outfit when she is wandering around and one that is armored for when the vampires invade the city and helps to fend em off!

 

something good for inigo too would be a plus!

 

I'm playing a khajiit who uses bows/crossbows to attack from stealth, great swords when in a pinch, and restoration to heal herself and allies! Mostly she leaves the fighting to inigo and vilja but always be prepared ya know?

 

Regardless, feel free to post anything you'd like! I'd honestly love to see even the most hidden of gems mod you use!

For starters I use Nobel skyrim - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/45807/

Then I overwrite that with skyrim 2k - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/607/

And then i overwrite skyrim 2k with skyrim tribute - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/64856/

 

For Khajits I use - https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/56623/

A great selection!

 

As for the swords and great swords they are a bit too 'shiny' for me but i can't deny the beauty of the quality

 

I like my equipment 'worn/battered/gritty/rustic/rough/practical' looking i.e i use the hedge mage armor (with a black retex), the huntsman is also my preferred bow, also I usually use tentaplooza whenever i'm using campfire and use the 'dig site' tents from it, then for the wolves I actually keep them vanilla (still looking into better textures for better looking fur on them), The sabrecats I use Kajuns retex, I also use amulets of skyrim for a amulet of hircine (the ring on a necklace basically), right now I'm looking into clothes retextures other than rustic clothing and opulent is too.. opulent lol

 

I'm focusing on mostly on animal retextures, clothes, plants, and houses right now in short (I got windpath for now, but i'm always looking for more, if they have adoption friendly while remaining small and rustic then all the better!)

 

Thanks for posting the list! Really helps out! <3

For a player home I'd definitely recommend https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/33939 since it feels like it has everything the dragonborn would need as well as allowing you to adopt. It's not a big house but not small either I would say.

 

And when it comes to adding creatures to the game I would say https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/users/37834630?tab=user+files is a really good place to look. He has anything from small addons like adding birds and some which add really (really) powerful enemies.

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/24913 Also adds a nice amount of creatures.

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/57413 This mod adds creatures but it feels like vanilla :D

 

For vanilla creatures I use https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/10175

And their retex https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/3621

 

For rustic clothing you might like the mod "Rustic clothing" :P https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/69784

And maybe you'd like this too https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/73861

 

For flowers -

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/78145

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/78197

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/58091

 

For vanilla armors and weapons

I'd like to recommend some Companions, for your journey.

 

Companion Valfar - If you want a Stormcloak companion, who's a badass and feels lore friendly. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/25360

Hoth - The best bounty hunter companion/follower. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/24666

 

 

Race Textures

 

I also recommend this texture for Khajiit. Have tried this, and the popular Coverkhajiit, I feel like this one, just looks better overall. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/56623/

 

Armour Sets for Companions and yourself

A lot of these are sets, I've used before.

 

Dragon Caved Nordic Armour Set: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/66130

Daedric Reaper Armour: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/69138

Celes Nightingale Armor: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/67595 + Alternate Glows: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/73566

The Tools of Kragernac: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/87590

Hothtrooper's Vanguard Armour and Gnarrok's Vanguard Armor Retexture https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/16238 & https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/87364 (I've not tried this one. But it looks good with the retexture.)

Argonian Mercenary Armor: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/27676

It should be vice versa since Skyrim HD 2k is pretty outdated compared to the quality of the textures of Noble.

 

 

I actually use the architecture and furniture from noble skyrim and use everything else from skyrim 2k
