Spamheinz's HD Farmhouse

I decided to make the 1.6 mipmapped version the main file. Without going into much technical jadajada, this file loads a lot faster and is virtually the same in fps.

riverun load times:
with mipmaps it was 11-15s on my machine
without it was 18-20s

So i strongly re-come the mipmapped version for you guys.
the 1024px version is also now mipmapped.


Released the 1024px version for slower pcs, hope it runs well for you!
I left one file with double res in so the woodposts look better.
Tell me how it runs!

version 1.6
fixed the version with mipmaps, some transparency and shininess issues should be gone now.
Other version without mipmaps is fine, no need to download that one again :)

Version 1.5:
After 2 days working and figuring stuff out i have finally been able to improve the roof texture and the woodposts. Seen everywhere. check the screens :)
All new roof with normal maps, also the infamous woodpost seen blurry all over skyrim has been reworked.

Sorry about the confusion with the nexus mod manager, something seemd to break in the 1.5 with the new mod manager sending nmm to crash and popup errors. It IS fixed now with the different files.


Strongly recommed to use a 4gb patch with these, the texture&normal maps are bigger then the 2048px version before. woodpost is even 4096px.

I was an adventurere like you, but then i took a woodpost to the knee... :-)

changes v1.1:

1024px version
1.1 optimized texture format

2048px version
1.1 optimized texture format

Many thanks for the help of my fellow modders:
chris2012, NebuLa1

For people having trouble with crashes chris2012 had the following advise:

Most likely you'll need the "allow 4gb ram usage" patch to allow skyrim to use more RAM otherwise you'll encounter purple textures/crashes -> you can find it here : http://www.skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1013

You might also try the 1024px version.

This mod will work with the whiterun mod and hd skyrim without problems.

Hi,
This is the up-scaled&edited Version of the Farmhouses.
Maybe saying Farmhouse is a bit misleading, this includes all mills, stone walls, mead ins, common houses, Miller, Farmer, Smiths and more. These textures get used almost everywhere, as dock piers, walls, wood planks etc.

Thats why I took great care to build them up in the same style, colour and shade with higher resolution.
It Took me several days but here it is, enjoy and endorse if you like it.

Whiterun Mod compatibly! This mod won't interfere with that other great texture mod.

There are two versions avaible;
the 2048px Highres 1.0 with all new normal&colour maps and
the 1024px lowres 1.0 with optimized normal maps (halfsize).

Should suite everyones pc.

I also have an insane version with 4096px resolution in the works. Stay tuned!

Feel free to modify and comment! Feedback makes me do more mods! :)
