About this mod Machine translation
This mod is a visual upgrade to Blackreach originally created by Sinisterax.
TL:DR This mod is like JK's Skyrim mods, except it's for Blackreach.
This mod is Sinisterax's special edition conversion of The Blackest Reaches.
(
Sinisterax left the Skyrim mod and generously left me his latest version of the mod, which he considered "about 70% complete". I've loaded and resaved it using the newer creation toolkit.
This is a purely cosmetic mod, nothing special to install. Just make sure the esp file is in the data folder and active in the load order to use any method suite.
The second and third pictures are before and after photos of the same location to give you an idea of what to expect. I purposely didn't upload a bunch of pictures, so if you want to see everything go find it yourself.
have fun:)
Original description slightly edited for upgrade
I love Blackreach. Love it. This was the first place in a video game that made me stop and say wow.
That was it, until I noticed that there were many areas, large and small, that were just plain ugly.
So I solved the problem
This is primarily an aesthetic mode, but it's also functional. In addition to adding more rocks, ruins, and Glowy Stuff, I've also added more enemies, ore and geode veins, and treasure chests.

Sinisterax has left skyrim modding and graciously left me his most up to date version of mod which he considered "about 70% done". I have loaded and resaved it using the newer creation kit.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
