About this mod
The highly requested parallax terrain AiO. 4k 2k and 1k options
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
This is a collection of all of the terrain parallax textures I have released in one easy download. Covering all the terrain in base vanilla Skyrim with high quality textures.
Other mods that can be seen in the screenshots are:
NAT
Nature of the Wild Lands
Folkvangr
EVLAS
A few terrain textures have been tweaked from the original releases. The fieldgrass texture that can be seen a lot in the tundra now is more vanilla color aka brown. Some changes to snow textures as well please use Simplicity of Snow or Better Dynamic Snow V2 with the snow textures. They fix the snow shaders.
Installation
Simply install as you would any other texture mod, use any of your preferred mod organizers or drop it into your data folder.
To uninstall just unclick or delete it from your LO/data folder.
*Common Questions*
* Why is there no _p. files? Doesn't parallax need _p. files?
Not needed for terrain parallax to function. This is because the height map (what makes parallax bumpy) is read from the diffuse now instead of needing it's own separate file. Sometimes using a _P file is a better option depending on what you're working on, but for this mod it isn't needed.
*How do I use parallax? Do I need an ENB?
ENB is one way to get parallax into your game and it's probably the simplest route to do so (imo bc I am just really familiar with ENB). If you are using an ENB already but parallax isn't enabled all you need to do is go into your ENBseries.ini file and:
EnableTerrainParallax=true
EnableComplexParallax=true
EnableComplexTerrainParallax=true
EnableTerrainBlending=true
If parallax still isn't working in your game be sure to clear your enbcache.
There are other parallax settings in there regarding shadows, that is up to you if you want to enable that and if it gives you a performance hit. Parallax in general isn't super performance heavy it's ENB that can be depending on settings enabled, so you should be fine with just the parallax side of things, but everyone's pc is different.
How to use parallax if you don't use ENB (and I may need some correction on this from people that actually use parallax without ENB because I don't want to get the steps wrong)
You're going to need SSE Parallax Shader Fix and be sure to follow the installation instructions - now this is where I'm not sure if it is required or not but I believe Vanilla POM expands further upon the quality of the shaders I am unsure if you need SSE Parallax Shader Fix if you are using Vanilla POM. Again make sure to follow their installation guide.
*Can I use these textures if I don't use parallax?
Yes you can, it will not harm your game. You just will not receive the parallax bump effect.
*Is terrain parallax supported by VR?
short answer is No.
Longer answer is that it has not been supported or implemented yet by Boris or the lovely VR Parallax Shader Fix authors. I asked the Shader Fix authors if it works and I was told it is not working yet and unsure when it may be implemented or if it will be at all.

I only did this AiO after so many requested it. I'm going to leave the small releases up as it makes it easier to mix and match your textures with others that match your playstyle. There is a great many mods to pick and choose from and you should definitely mix your textures to get a unique setup for yourself. That's the essence and beauty in modding imo.
I also wanted to thank everyone that has been so kind to me. There are some that aren't happy with my "return" but it's outweighed by the absolute onslaught of positivity I have received. You kind people are the reason I enjoy mods so much. So anyways,
HAPPY MODDING!
