Alright folks, we all know there are a multitude of Skyrim mods out there, but this is cutting edge stuff: a mod that takes Skyrim back in time to a better place, a simpler time, when textures were stretched, blurry and didn’t really look like that thing they were supposed to be. In other words — this mod makes Skyrim look a bit like Minecraft.
Personally I think it looks quite charming. But then again, I’m totally old.

I do, but only so I can watch everyone squirm when they hear the inevitable ‘SSssSS’
yeah what zingi said. this at least makes the world look more colourful and fun, the only fun based on that video you reposted from THIS VERY SITE is the music.
From this site how, Kotaku didn’t come up with it, nor is it kotaku’s video.
and if KotakUS posted it it’s because half their posts are via reddit anyway.
As for colorful, it only looks that way because the mod has made all the trees insanely bright.
While the TF2 mod which isn’t actually devoid of textures. It’s a 1×1 version of the texture(Aka whatever the dominant color of the texture is) applied accross the entire surface to account for every pixel the object takes up
The developers who spent years polishing the graphics and designing the textures to create a lifelike world just lost their rag and are hunting down the modders.
Thats what I was thinkin!
If this gives my low spec PC a few more fps I’m gonna use it.
That looks pretty good. Except the sky, I like the moon/stars/aurora too much to want to change it
That doesn’t look like Minecraft at all? Looks more like a Borderlands cell shaded sort of style
Minecraft? Of all things to use an example of retro graphics, you pick MINECRAFT? It doesn’t even look particularly like it!
Not to mention that these screenshots make it look as though the author ripped the graphics out of a few NEW games and slapped them onto the textures with no regard for appearance. Ugh.
