The Creation Kit is live!
To download it, go to "View" -> "Tools", and look for "Creation Kit".
Along with the Creation Kit, they also had a surprise, which was a HD Texture Pack! (Yeah, I know - we knew that...) This pack can be downloaded by right clicking Skyrim, and then clicking "View Downloadable Content", then "View available downloadable content for this game". And there it is!

Tesnexus has offline copies of CS wiki and UESP wiki.
I would like to have them updated, and offline copies of
FO3 and FNV GECK wikis. (I like to track changes between
the editors.)
The only other thing I could think of is as you suggest, adding the BSAs to the first section rather than the second. I'll give it a try.
Edit: Personally I think the pack is intended, indeed, to enhance the textures so they are more robust but to change not the general look of the game at all.
Another thing: If the entries are correctly placed, enabling disabling the ESPs has no effect other than forcing them over user made textures. I mean, disabling the ESP in this case changes not what is seen except where it affects the later. A clear example of this happening is when using body eyecands for Enabling the ESP kill everything at once making the bodies totally messed.
To really be sure to be making comparison between vanilla textures and the pack is removing the entries at the ini and then enabling/disabling the ESPs.
Then my question to Bethesda would be: what's really the point of producing and releasing a high resolution texture pack if it only contains such subtle differences that players can't even see them?
As I said in my blog:
The differences exist but they are somewhat subtle to most but some loudly evident changes in particular items. For the environment textures the change becomes clearest when you get near the surfaces for it keeps the sharpness at some extent instead becoming painfully blurred.
Edit: in those screenshot seems the anisotropy is low, it should be
iMaxAnisotropy=16- at SkyrimPrefs.ini for all but the lowly entry level video card for the performance hit is minimal against huge improvement in the image sharpness.
Better yet setting this value at the video card control panel for Skyrim.
did you people realize that half of them are there illegally? beth totally forked itself this time, trying to protect itself from law suits with an EULA as bad as that of the CK and workshop leads to one very important aspect: if you upload or edit a mod containing ressources which are public domain (aka modders ressource) or you were asking somone for permission to their assets, you automaticly hand all rights to bethesda and affiliates which is something you, as for example the benefitiary of of public domain rights, aka do whatever you like as long as not commercial, can simply not do, hence breaking law by transporting and delivering stolen goods to an organized crime network... and yes it is organized crime if you plan on increases ad revenue due to increased traffic due to stolen content and do that with a bunch of other people under a bodies hood
the question in a court of law will only be wether bethesda knew and planned to have so much stolen and illegal content hosted on their client or if they only willingliy tolerated the prospect
anyway that all wont matter because should ACTA go live soon, and it probably will, well... occupy steam is all i say XD
...just saying...
I've followed the same instructions. I don't get any crashes, but I really can't tell the difference between the textures before and the textures now.
Can anyone really get the HRTP to work?
Gotta love the folks at steam.
Bethesda still has a great game otherwise I would not be reinstalling from scratch (but no way I'll install the HRTP from steam again).
