I have a less is more philosophy. I install this first thing every modlist, and let everything overwrite it. If I didn't want to replace the vanilla asset, its not important enough for normal map resources.
No, but it replaces them with tiny 4x4 pixel ones. Technically they are still there but won't show much effect in glossyness or shadowing. Were really useful on my old potatoe so it gets an (late) endorsement.
Working great for me. I have to hit up Solitude/Whiterun to see if it really does save me any fps/stuttering though haha tbh I couldn't even see the difference because I use so many texture mods, so there's nothing this mod can do for me except help. Only gripe is that I had to re-run dyndolod after installing, but that's np. Thanks man!
EDIT: I ended up hiding all of the mountain/stone/rock dds files since the small normal maps ended up making all of them look like smooth shiny tumbled stones lol But other than that, everything else still looks great.
Hey man, how did you pull this off? I'm looking to do something similar but with low alpha for my retro textures mod. Can't find much online to bulk replace files.
Yes it is usable with Cleaned Skyrim SE textures because these are all loose files that override the archived files.
No, Cleaned Skyrim SE Textures does not turn normal maps into blank textures, it removes distortion from compression. It makes them look better. This mod makes normal maps completely blank, effectively removes them completely.
