A new version of The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim HD LOD Textures mod has been released recently, introducing even more improvements to the game.
The latest version of the mod, version 9.0, introduces improvements to a lot of buildings and more.
Description:
This mod is a complete re-texture of The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim, Dawnguard and Dragonborn LODs.
Vanilla use 256 or 128 Texture for the Lods (with very unoptimized texture atlas). My mod offers you 1K Lods Texture for all the SSE worlds (Tamriel, Solstheim and all the small worlds like Blackreach).
Note that 1K texture for Lods is way less detailed and performance consuming than a regular 1K texture. For example a single regular texture will be for a single object like a door. For the Lods a single texture will be for several full buildings.
While this mod is working perfectly "as is" I can only recommand you to use DynDOLOD by Sheson.New in V9.0 : Full Model for some child cities (Solitude & Whiterun only) buildings.
When you are outside a city (and the city is INSIDE loaded cells) vanilla skyrim will use LOD models & textures for its buildings (you see them less due to the walls).
Except Riften, Vanilla Riften buildings use full model Meshes (when you're near but not inside Riften). Why only Riften ? I don't know...
This mod now enable full model for some buildings in Whiterun & Solitude (not all are compatible, check pictures). Because they are technically NOT LOD!

The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim is now available on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch, as well as on PS3 and Xbox 360.
