Hey man. Your work is fantastic, i hope you live a great life. Is this mod compatible with A Forest, and if so how can i do it not to mess things up? Thx
This mod unfortuately still has broken trees and foliage, see the bugs section for screenshots. You can even see the issue present in a lot of the screenshots on this page, but you first need to know what you're looking for. Can't recommend it in its current state.
Cannot be fixed by regenerating LOD from my experience. There are certain textures in this mod that look WORSE than vanilla, nevermind HD DLC. The rocks in particular are terrible. I personally dont use any of these mods anymore. I thought they were the perfect solution when I first discovered them. HD DLC quality with smaller file size! Amazing! Then the problems come one after another... The issues you'll experience with this mod (and *some* of the other savrenx texture packs) are NOT worth the slight quality increase over vanilla in my opinion.
You can remove the unused masters. It's should be just an empty esp (flagged as an esl) with Fallout4.esm only. If you don't want to edit it you can just download some other esp flagged as an esl that is correctly set to the right master, rename it to match this one and replace it. Empty esp/esl files are not mod specific they just allow the loading of the bsa files so only the file name matters.
To put it simply, you can download one of the mods like Empty dummy plugin or Blank Mod esp File and rename the plugin file to "SavrenXHDVanillaLandscape.esp", then replace the plugin file that came with SavrenX HD Vanilla Landscape.
If you "just delete the esp files", then there's nothing to tell the game to load the textures from this mod (the ba2 archive). Am abit confused what all this talk is about "unused masters"...
The esp -file tells the game to load up the BA2 archive. If you don't want to use the esp -file, you''ll need to add the archive manually into fallout4.ini textfile.. Add it to the "[Archive]" -section after all the others there. Careful not to add any extra spaces! Comma right after the last one in the list, hit space, write the filename and extension exactly and you're done. I don't know if read only/write protection is still an issue but you might want to be sure you're edits will actually save and won't be overwritten later. Might want to backup your original ini -files too.
You won't break anything if you try textures as they can be installed/uninstalled at anytime. Plugins that comes after others will either overwrite, win over some conflicts/features over anything before it and your mod oragnizer should ask about that esp. with textures.
i'm going to type it in here but take note that i am referring to ALL of SavrenX 's work
f*#@ YEAH !!!!
- great quality mods with lowest file size possible
- can use em all together and they will act like the full textures DLC pack Bethesda did ... except its about half the size of it and you can actually see the difference (a lot actually) AND with a lower Vram usage as well as a better FPS overall (even compared to vanilla game ... dunno how you managed to do it ... man you deserve a medal for this)
- so far , i have noticed 0 compatibility or bug problems , even with the 94 mods i am using installed
the sole and only cons i have to point out is the fact that unlike the Bethesda Textures DLC Pack , you will need to download around 20 mods so its a lot of new esp files , but i do understand the why it is like this tho , it allows for people to chose what they want rather than a full forced package , as well as its probably better like this for troubleshooting if any problems kick in (none so far)
10/10 i recommand it , use any of SavrenX mods , but for better results , type his name in the search bar and download all of his work!
SavrenX's texture packs are a godsend. Best part about them for me: they're still vanilla. I really don't mind the style of Fallout 4, but the original blurry textures are annoying.
I now use all packages from Savren (except for the Creature economic - since it is redundant to the redone main package) and would like to thank Savren for this. great work
Hmm does anyone knows if this mod haves any conflict with the Texture Optimization Project? i want to make sure if there's any problem if i try to use this mod with the optimized vanilla textures
it will in a way but if you are using MO2 or Vortex its a simple uninstall process. try it see how it effects your game performance if it doesn't and you like it you can even write it to your games Ba2 files like you did with the Texture Optimization project I seen the tool in the mod section that extracts mods like this then it writes them the .dds files to base game ba2 files.
It will definitely conflict, but that's expected. TOP batch downscale ALL textures, this mod will overwrite a number of them, but will it affect performance? Doubt it. These textures, even when being more detailed, use way less VRAM than the unoptimized vanilla crap.

it enhances vanilla textures while still having a smaller size
top just lowers the texture quality, at first its not noticeable but in many places the game looks like s#*!, and it removes grass from many places making the landscape look empty
I'm thinking of installing every texture pack the author has released after reading through people's comments praising the low vram usage of these textures and their quality.
Before i do, though, can someone tell me if there are conflicts with Regrowth Overhaul?
generally speaking texture mods are very compatible with other mods. They only modify the textures that the game calls on so if you have a mod that modifies how much grass is in the game and how many trees for example. A texture pack will change how all of that grass and all of those trees look. The only exception is if those mods contain their own textures. At which time Vortex will prompt you of a file conflict and you just have to pick which pack the game will actually pull the textures from by telling it to load that one after the one you do not want to use. For example if you run True grass, with tookies textures alongside of Borealis then prioritize tookies textures borealis will use tookie textures on all of its grass.
They all cover different things, so yeah you can use them all at the same time. Don't forget to also download the optional files for each pack, they fix broken textures.
After having this installed for roughly one year I'd like to drop by and praise the quality of the textures but also the fairly low vram usage this has. It's one of the essential mods I use. Great work on keeping up the quality but also ensuring that this is also good enough for performance.

edit: ah yup huh, I don't know how to describe that. Is it actually an LOD issue? Bushes up close look like they have less growth?
Those branches would have shitty aliasing on them for VR anyway, I'm still downloading :p

Thank you so much and cheers Savren.
Sounds like a great excuse to DRINK, merilly!
I'll drink to that, fellars!

I'm going to go ahead and give those textures a try.
