About this mod

Upscaled textures for Shivering Isles. Comes in default 4x or 2x version, with availability to mix and match modules. Should look like vanilla Shivering Isles, but less 2007.

Permissions and credits
tl;dr:

DOWNLOAD: "kart_SIUT_default" or "kart_SIUT_default_2x"
Requires archive invalidation to work properly (SkyBSA is recommended, OBSE required.)
You probably also want Oblivion Upscaled Textures and DLC Upscaled Textures.

Because I am kind and benevolent I have compiled some comparison shots for you. Random stuff in the Imperial City Talos District. Click drop down to see different mods. I included these mods:
vanilla (default game), qarl's texture pack 3 redimidized, 4x vanilla remastered, OUT 2 (the mod you are right now), OUT 4
