Please actually read what you are installing before you do it, there are several options and some of them are exclusive or dependent.

World Common and Housing:
Recommendation:
1. Install: Kartoffels World Common and Housing Textures. The common textures are much more impactful.
2. Optionally install the "Kartoffels World Common and Housing Textures 2x Normals" afterwards and set it to higher priority.
World:
Since FFXIV has introduced "detail maps" and a lot of straight upscales like grass/ground textures this type of mod is less needed. Therefore I recommend using the (low budget: x1 Normals) which is like 7GB first and seeing if you still have a problem, before downloading the diffuse. The diffuse and the normal are exclusive groups and will not overwrite each other.
Recommendation:
1. Kartoffels World Textures - Normals x1
2. Optionally install "Kartoffels World Textures - Diffuse"
I find the normals more impactful for the world textures so I left them separate since the diffuse are about ~20GB.

You can find my FFXIV mods here on the Nexus or on Heliosphere.
I offer heliosphere because it provides automatic updates for small differences. Which is a better user experience.
I offer nexus because it provides full integrity of the file structure. Which is better for modders.
PLEASE ONLY INSTALL THESE WITH PENUMBRA. THESE PACKS ARE TOO LARGE FOR TEXTOOLS.
Everything I produce is open source and free use. If you appreciate my work you can donate to my kofi, but are in no way obliged to do so.
