About this mod

An extremely subtle mod that fixes the "low resolution" parts of the party/guests' clothes. This does not increase texture resolution, it fixes the vanilla textures.

If you though that Enhanced Clothing 2.0.3 by Skopin was subtle, then this is not the mod for you.

"Have you ever ran into a wall and been violently attacked by the camera, forcing you to gaze upon the concerningly low resolution that envelopes our friends that we hold dear. No? Well If you have, this mod makes that like 2% 10% less painful."



OK, so this is a same resolution re-scale texture, for Vaan, Balthier, Fran, Basch, Ashe, Penelo and all of the guests' clothes.

The mod is super vanilla, but it fixes the rough spots on the textures.


"What are these rough spots you speak of?"

Vaan- his pant's side straps, the front of his pants, his belly scarf and the design on the back of his vest is clipping?
Balthier- the side of his arms
Fran- the jaggies where the skin and the armor meet 
Basch- his pants and the laces on his boots
Ashe- the back of her mini skirt
Penelo- nothing in particular, maybe the outlines on her leather boots are the most noticeable 
Vossler- the straps on his pants


"Why not just use Enhanced Clothing 2.0.3?"

While I do love Skopin's gold accents for Ashe, the rest of the colors are too Immersion breaking for me. And besides the jaggies were bothering me. NOTICE: Enhanced Clothing 2.0.3 edits the same party files, but you can install my mod too if you want the guests changed


"How did you fix the jaggies?"

I down-sampled the textures to their native resolution (most of them were 256x256), made any edits I needed to, re-upscaled them with Waifu2x and copy pasted any parts of the texture that didn't actually need to be down-sampled back onto the texture.


"Why are there no 4K textures?"

As far as I am aware, something doesn't like the textures going over the default resolution of either 512x512 or 1024x1024. I have permanently corrupted a couple files trying to go above that.


"Do I need to play in 8K, like you did?"
"Why is there only one picture"

No... you do not need to play in 8K. Pictures are hard ok. Especially hard when you need to move the camera around at at least 1080p to see the most dramatic effect and are familiar with said "rough spots."


"If it's so hard to tell the difference, why should I download it?"

*intense sweating*


"How to install with DrakLab Mod Loader?"

Extract the folder "Clothes Re-Upscaled 2.5.0" from the zip and when you click "Add Mod" navigate to the "Clothes Re-Upscaled 2.5.0" folder.
