Changelogs
Version 1.0
Initial release. Limited testing, so consider it a beta.
Halves the size of all effect textures, for PCs that don't need to go nuclear with low res everything. GOTY textures included (but works without DLC too).
For me it helped combat performance around explosions and Poisoner weapons. May not look as good, but might help if you nearly maxed your VRAM and these effects were pushing your GPU over the edge. If you have VRAM in spades then this probably won't help you any.
Disclaimer: Every system is different. As with most performance mods, your mileage will vary. This is not magic.
Install & Uninstall
Installs like any other mod. The plugin has no records or conflicts, being empty, and only exists to load the BSA.
