I made way better normal maps for vanilla Skyrim textures. I used M Waqas' Vanilla Remastered (Ultimate) - Textures Upscaled and Reworked, which is enough of a technical departure from vanilla that it is a hard requirement for these normal textures. I also made new specular maps so Skyrim is no longer coated in shiny plastic. As a final bonus, some snow and other projectors use the normal map, so having more definition can get rid of a lot of bad looking streaks and such.
Update: M Waqas has updated his previous mod so that it shares the changes in Ultimate, so this mod can now be used with that mod as well, and I recommend it if you like me are keen to cut performance corners. In fact, I don't think you will notice much of a difference, as with these new normals, the upsize texture is less meaningful (but the other upgrades by M Waqas are meaningful so one of the two mods are still required). It's here: Vanilla Remastered (Optimized) - Textures Upscaled and Reworked
Enjoy! And tell your friends!

March forth! 2025. Added a cut of Some_Random_Guy_83's Enhanced Textures Detail (UV-tweaks) with mainly just the rocks to help our struggling vanilla mountain textures quite a lot. Thank you Some Random Guy 83!! You did such a great job on these rocks! it must have taken some extra loving care, and it shows. Overwrite SMIM.
