    Can you describe specifically what you mean by 'cleaning' the textures?

      Skyrim Cleaned Textures mod

      If you want to know more go to the Skyrim Cleaned textures mod, and go to Can I have Info  Spoiler and there will be your information.

      All this mod does is removes bad compression and saves it in a better format so your game does not take up all your Vram so you will gain more FPS. That is what Cleaning does.

    All Textures I have made are being updated for better quality so means redoing all textures which will take a while.

    I don't know if if are still modding MrShadowBlood. But the file textures/wintersun/trans.dds from this mod is causing white texture on "shrine to clavicus vile" in Haemar's Shame.

    I test both 1k and 2k (loose and bsa version) and they produced same result. Hiding trans.dds from this mod solves the problem.

    If you are still modding please help with fixing.

      thx for heads up but also make sure to disable everything and test it first to see if it is that since all textures are from Enai's mod so might be something else

      I did test them using 2k and 4k with both loose and bsa. Here is how I tested:
      - bsa: enable and let your mod overwrite wintersun -> white texture
      - bsa: disable your mod, only wintersun enable -> no problem
      - loose: enable and let your mod overwrite wintersun -> white texture
      - loose: enable and let your mod overwrite wintersun + hide trans.dds -> no problem
      - loose: I extracted trans.dds from original wintersun and replace the file in your mod + enable and overwrite wintersun -> no problem.

      I also opened both trans.dds files from wintersun and your mod. Whatever app you used to process the original file has transformed a transparent image to white bg image.

      did you test them with all other mods disabled?

      Cause never touched the trans.dds. All I did was throw it into a bsa

      I'm not sure what you mean by never touch trans.dds.
      I just compare the two trans.dds file from original wintersun and your 1k loose mod. The original's size is 1.48kb while yours is 1.5kb.

      I understand why you're skeptical about this report because noone would miss such a thing, right. My guess is that people mistook the white texture as snow covering Clauvius' statue (it's in a cave in snowy region afterall). I made the same mistake hence only in 2023 that I made this comment.

      I mean like that dds is the original from Enai's mod. I never upscaled or clean it since its just a color texture.

    Thanks a lot! Finally the places of worship get their deserved beauty. And thanks for the BSA option!

      Np, glad you like it.

      I might redo the Hircine banner but that's a hard maybe since was tedious to fix the blocky alpha

    Hi, me again :) 

    As with some of the textures in Triumvirate, I've come across purple textures ( ex: daedric artifact) in Wintersun as well.  So I replaced the cleaned BSA textures with the loose 2k textures and now everything is fine.

      Yeah....gonna have some friends test the BSA because this should not be happening with it because all the textures are in there and the names are the same as the original ones.

      Only thing I can think of is that something is some how overwriting/conflicting with something or BSA needs to have the same name as the Mod's texture BSA.

      Was trying to find out myself and found an old forum post BSAs.  So I believe not having same name may be the issue.

      Ok so had a friend tested it but they don't report any purple textures.

      I'll upload another BSA with the same name of the mod as a possible fix.

      This is a load order issue. The game reads BSAs before loose files regardless of what order you have them in, so it reads the files from this mod, then sees Wintersun, then sees this mod and shows the purple missing texture.

    Hello, I may have done something wrong but when installing the offered BSA version the Wintersun menu doesn't load, it's not even possible to get blessings and the like even if the items still "exist". I basically removed the original BSA and replaced it with yours by changing the name to match the original. Was it because of that?

      Did you replace the BSA texture or the other BSA in the mod because you only needed to replace the Texture BSA.

      Try not renaming it but then again this only affects textures so unsure why it would cause the menu and blessings to act all funky.

      I replaced the texture, but maybe the problem was when I changed the filename to match it. I will try again!

    Thank you for your work, and thanks for sharing!

    Just one question. I've noticed you included grad_conjuration_spirits_cattotem.dds, grad_destruction_goldbody.dds, grad_restoration_heal_hazardedge.dds and illusionflare.dds in this mod and in Apocalypse - Magic of Skyrim Cleaned and Enhanced Textures. Does it matter which of these files is deployed first?

      Most likely no due to them being the same textures so should not really matter which one is deployed first.

      I guessed that much, but I wanted to be sure.

    The clean texture difference is subtle visually and the 2k one is more noticeable. Nice of you to offer these improved textures in both qualities.

      It's must have options to be honest.

      Clean texture is mostly for performance while making the textures look nicer and more detailed while 2k is more for people that has quite bit of space but also has above average gaming PC. This way people that need performance won't lack any detail enhances when they want to use normal clean.

      Best part about the loose files is you can download the clean and 2k versions then swap out textures from the 2k you don't pay attention or don't like with normal cleaned textures to save space.

      My personal favorite is normal clean since gives me a performance boost but gives me some more slight detail compared to regular textures which is what I use the BSA most cases.
