The first official release of the VSW Project, originally released as part of the 2019 Morrowind Modathon Modding Competition, Solstheim Remastered is a completely new take on the island of Solstheim, building upon the designs first introduced in Solstheim - Tomb of the Snow Prince, adding new mountainous terrain, ancient Nordic barrows, ruins, forests and natural cave systems to the island of Solstheim, transforming this once dull and uninspiring Nordic land into a truly epic vista worthy of song. But unlike Solstheim - Tomb of the Snow Prince, Solstheim Remastered does this in a bit of a more lore-friendly, and certainly gameplay-friendly fashion, eliminating most of the issues found in the original mod, and including a number of optional addons, including graphical replacers and support for animated grass and groundcover.

Solstheim Remastered is apart of VSW, otherwise known as the Vvardenfell Solstheim Worldspace Remaster Project, an effort to make the landscapes and graphics of the vanilla game better fit in with the more modern content of the province mods, like Tamriel Rebuilt, Skyrim - Home of the Nords, and Province: Cyrodiil. Taking a similar approach as Unique Landscapes for Oblivion, VSW aims to overhaul a number of the regions of the game, providing more dynamic and epic looking landscapes, as well as new content and graphical features. The project is currently being worked on by a number of modders, including Corsair83, Wollibeebee, Remiros, Rytelier, and Leyawyyn, among others. Progress is currently on-going with new visual updates to the Bitter Coast, Ascadian Isles, and West Gash regions, and you can follow progress on this project for yourself over on the VSW Discord Channel.
