    No matter what I do, I cannot get the Blighted Nix Hound texture to work with PB's Nix Hound Replacer. Instead of showing the Blighted texture on Blighted Nix Hounds, it just shows the regular unblighted texture.

    Same is true of the included Cliff Racer mesh and texture; only ever uses the non-blighted texture, never the blighted one.

    am on OpenMW0.47

    EDIT: I found out that Bob's Diverse Blood mod was causing the models to not use the blighted textures. So not a problem with your mod thankfully.

    I very much appreciate the upscales.

    When comparing the upscales against OAAB_Data 1.16.0 I did notice that some of the textures mostly bloated texture size without giving any kind of visual improvement, so I ended up disabling some of the upscaled textures. As listed below.

    Note: overly large textures use unnecessary amounts of VRAM, which can lead to in-game stuttering, if textures need to be frequently unloaded and reloaded into VRAM, which happens if the textures memory size used, exceeds the size of the VRAM (this is similar to Virtual Memory swapping & trashing).

    dr_tx_canvass_03.dds        OAAB_Data 1.16.0 is already the same size as upscale
    tx_b_n_breton_m_hair04.dds  OAAB_Data 1.16.0 is already the same size as upscale
    tx_lava_solid.dds           OAAB_Data 1.16.0 is already the same size as upscale

    dr_tx_canvasscap_03.dds     Used with dr_tx_canvass_03.dds as canvas roll end cap,
                                having this the same size as dr_tx_canvass_03.dds
                                is excessive, considering the cap is a small part of
                                the canvas roll

    st_metal_rolledsteel.dds    both version look much the same
    tx_book_edge_bov4.dds       very marginally better when zoomed in
    tx_book_edge_bov3.dds       very marginally better when zoomed in

    tr_wood_de_rm.dds           very marginally better when zoomed in
    tx_r_herne_leg5.dds         very marginally better when zoomed in, excessive x4 upscale
    tx_ScampWax.dds             very marginally better when zoomed in, used for candles
                                that are fairly small objects so the OAAB_DATA sized
                                texture is probably fine
        
    The following armor upscales, had no noticeable effect in-game (on a 4K display)
    when comparing screen shots. Texture differences are only noticeable when zoomed in,
    but in-game you'll never get close enough unless you use console commands like "tcl"
    to get super close:
     
    a_cuirass_lightbone.dds
    a_bracer_lightbone.dds
    a_boots_lightbone2.dds        
    a_boots_lightbone1.dds        
    a_pauldron_lightbone.dds    
    a_helmet_lightbone.dds
    a_greaves_lightbone_2.dds
    a_greaves_lightbone_1.dds    

    I'm considering to disable the following as well:

    B_Wood_Elf_F_H01.dds        upscale looks a bit odd
    fabric_burgundy_01.dds      upscale looks a bit odd - "hairy"
    tx_corprus_growth.dds       difference not that noticeable
    tx_corprus_membrane.dds     difference not that noticeable
    tx_corprus_pustule.dds      difference not that noticeable
    sg_OR_writeAlfa3.dds        upscale looks a bit odd - has black outline around text

      I have to agree that some of them don't really look better than the original ones. However, what's worse is that they don't have mipmaps, which leads to flickering ingame. Use a tool like Optimizer Textures to fix this.

    Are there any plans to cover more creature replacers with the blight mod? And I agree with the comment below, I stumbled upon this by accident and then had a hard time finding it again. I'm happy I did, though

    This mod is really good but I must add that the name is kind of misleading, most minor mod compilations are mostly small a collection of small tweaks and miscellaneous things but I think each of these mods are significant enough to warrant their own page, with maybe the exception of the blight creatures one. Perhaps you could rename it to something that would make it easier for people to find? something that lets people know that these mods are upscales of several popular mods?
    I just think it would be a shame for such an excellent mod to be overlooked.

    One other thing I noticed was that you upscaled the vanilla version of my adamantium armor, or at least the frills. (maybe that was included in the original vanilla wearables mod) I have a better version of that texture in the main file of my ceremonial adamantium armor.

    What program did you use to upscale?

      Esrgan + Cupscale (a more convenient Esrgan interface), they are pretty easy to use, the only difficulty is picking the right model for the right textures.
