This is "Better Textures" mod for SPECIALK
https://shenmuehdretextured.wordpress.com/

If you want the stand-alone version of this mod with no need of installing SpecialK and easier installation process visit: https://www.nexusmods.com/shenmue/mods/30


This pack contains +200 HD textures.

“Nature Overhaul” replaces all flora and fauna textures with HD textures. Most of these new textures have a resolution of 1024x1024, 2048x2048 or 4096x4096 pixels.

This pack includes HD textures for:

  Tree’s foliage, leaves, barks and branches.
  Tree backgrounds
  Bushes
  Grasses
  Flowers
  Plants
  Plant pots
  Christmas and New Eve ornaments
  Shenhua’s intro environment textures (trees, plants, bushes and mountains)
  Opening intro nature textures
  Snow textures
  Moon texture in Shenhua scene
  Fauna (Cats, dogs, birds, fish)
  All these textures include their snowy version if it is required.


My goal throughout this project is to remain true to the original visuals and artistic Yu Suzuki vision, so I continually refer back to the original texture assets to ensure this, respecting the texture colorimetry and patterns with which Yu Suzuki envisioned his game.

INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:

Please,
Follow these instructions carefully to avoid any inconvenients:

Step 1 – Download and Install SpecialK  *** It is strongly recommended to use SpecialK v0.10***

You can download SpecialK 0.10.0.24 from here: https://github.com/Kaldaien/SpecialK/releases/download/sk_special_projects/SK_Sekiro_HDR10.7z

OR

If you want to use RESHADE, download SpecialK 0.10 for Reshade from here instead: https://github.com/Kaldaien/SpecialK/releases/download/sk_special_projects/SK_Sekiro_ReShade.7z

Unzip the file and copy all the extracted files into sm1 folder.

Do NOT use SpecialK 0.9.x. This version has critical bugs such as random black textures, random misplaced and missing textures as well as stability issues.


Step 2 – Download and Install my Full Mipmap Texture Pack from here: https://www.nexusmods.com/shenmue/mods/26  following the instructions step by step that you will find in the link.

(IMPORTANT: DO NOT FORGET TO PROTECT YOUR MIPMAPCACHE FOLDER AGAINST WRITING TO AVOID POTENTIAL PROBLEMS AS EXPLAINED IN THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MIPMAP PACK THAT YOU WILL FIND IN THE LINK PROVIDED ABOVE)

Step 3 - Download and unzip this mod (Nature Overhaul) and copy the “Nature Overhaul by Streamer2k” folder into the SpecialK inject texture folder, usually under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\SMLaunch\sm1\SK_Res\inject\textures\



FAQ:
1 – I have installed another mod that replaces the same textures included in Nature Overhaul. The textures I am getting ingame are from the other mod. How can I see ingame the Nature Overhaul textures?
You will have to merge both mods. It’s simply. Copy all the files included in the “Nature Overhaul by Stremer2k” folder and paste them in the other mod’s folder (usually called “Streaming” folder) overwriting them.
