So I've followed the guide, the revisited guide, and I'm at the "Optimizing The Bethesda Textures" part. It says to reorganize your load order to look like as listed.* Vanilla Optimized* Dawnguard* Dawnguard Optimized* Hearthfire* Hearthfire Optimized* Dragonborn* Dragonborn Optimized* HighResTexturePack01* HRDLC1 Optimized* HighResTexturePack02* HRDLC2 Optimized* HighResTexturePack03* HRDLC3 Optimized* Cleaned Vanilla ESMs* Skyrim Script ExtenderIf I understand this correctly, the Dawnguard, Hearthfire, Dragonborn, HighResTexturePack01, HighResTexturePack02, and HighResTexturePack03 are all the old dirty/unoptimized files, the originals.1. Why would I want them enabled at all when I have the optimized textures separated and cleaned ESMs in the Cleaned Vanilla ESMs folder being loaded?When I enable everything, it's showing in Mod Organizer that Dawnguard_opt, Hearthfires_opt, and Dragonborn_opt, the optimized textures, are being overwritten completely by the highrestexture packs, so none of those optimized files are even being used.2. If that's the case, why the eff did they have me optimize them in the first place? Or was that just optional in case I wasn't using the high res packs?3. Why do the HighResTexturePack files all say Unmanaged in front of them now? Do I even need them? Can I ditch those BSA files now that I have optimized textures?

There is a subfolder called 2The 1K textures will be inside folder 2Create a subfolder in the Working folder and call it "1" and make sure that it is empty for now.As a final check make sure that there are 2 subfolders in the Working folder called 1 and 22. Extract the Mod ContentsExtract TOP's contents (the mod archive) into folder "2".Leave folder "1" empty for now.3. Extract Vanilla Textures Using Archive2Download Archive2 (if you haven’t already).Open Archive2 and select File > Open.Navigate to your FO4 Data folder and open a vanilla texture.b file (e.g., Fallout4 - Textures1.ba2).Once Archive2 has loaded the contents of the .ba2 file, extract the contents to folder "1" inside the Working folder.4. Use Robocopy to Replace TexturesIn the Working folder, Shift+Right-click and select "Open command window here".In the newly opened CMD prompt, type the following command exactly (including spaces but without quotes):robocopy "C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\Working\2" "C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\Working\1" /s /xlReplace Owner with your Windows account name.Press Enter to run the command. There should be a flood of text as the specific files are automatically replaced in folder "1".If you don’t see any output, recheck the steps to ensure everything is set up correctly.5. Repack the Textures into a New BA2 FileOpen Archive2 again.Select File > New, choose DDS as the format, and leave the defaults.Select OK.6. Add the Optimized Textures to the New BA2 FileIn Archive2, select Archive > Add Folder....Navigate to folder "1" and select the Textures folder.7. Save the Repacked BA2 FileSelect File > Save As....Save the file with the original .ba2 file name (e.g., Fallout4 - Textures1.ba2).8. Repeat for All Vanilla BA2 FilesRepeat steps 4-7 for each individual vanilla .ba2 file (e.g., Fallout4 - Textures1.ba2, Fallout4 - Textures2.ba2, etc.) until all are completed.9. Clean Up Between Each BA2 FileAfter saving a repacked .ba2 file, go into folder "1" and delete everything before extracting the next vanilla .ba2 file.10.

1. Not really. Honestly, if you're an emphatic user of BAB you're probably used to not a lot of support and that is also the case here. There are no BAB body textures provided, on the OCO page or anywhere to my knowledge.However, it's fairly similar to vanilla in design, so I expect (though I don't know for sure) that a BAB body texture replacer for vanilla could work so long as they overwrite OCO textures where they're expected to be found. Neck seams shouldn't be too much worse than vanilla race with body replacers. Beast races are an exception - OCO face textures are rather different, so head/body differences will be rather obvious. Meshes won't be a problem, as I think BAB has a vanilla-shape neck, so it'll work with OCO's new head meshes.2. Somewhere in between "nothing" and "broken" (or even full support), depending on whether the custom race is an absolute copy of vanilla down to the files used.The custom race will have OCO-style head mesh gender variation (because this is a feature of Blockhead that works based on the path to the resources, which I'm assuming is the same in this copy of a vanilla race). It may or may not have face texture gender variation depending on the race - if so, it'll use OCO face textures now instead of vanilla ones. Body textures behave as you might expect as OCO is a straightforward replacer in this regard: if the custom race is looking for vanilla body textures then it'll find them, but as above if they're the ones installed by OCO they won't look right with BAB. Ears might end up looking strange as OCO adds new ones, but it might be fine.Facegen data will be from vanilla and will result in your custom race looking different from the OCO ones, as OCO has new facegen data.Is it safe to update the STEP Optimized Vanilla Texture
DescriptionThis mod should allow you to replace the following:player model texturesitem inventory iconsequipment textures like armor, weapons, and toolsterrain and water texturesenvironmental texturesspecial location textures (villages, crypts, rune stones, etc.)world object textures, almost everything else in the game worldIt also now supports layers, so you can apply multiple textures to the same vanilla texture (see Layers below).To create your own custom textures requires basic reading comprehension! It's not that difficult, but please read all of the information below carefully before asking for help.Basic UsageTo extract the vanilla textures for reference, I use Asset Studio. The textures are in the valheim_Data/sharedassets files.To replace a texture, you simply add a png file to the folder BepInEx/plugins/CustomTextures with the proper name format explained below, and then load the game.You can also organize textures into subfolders! If you are publishing a texture pack I encourage you to do this, to allow easy install and removal.Also, if you are publishing a texture pack, putting your textures in a CustomTextures folder before creating the zip file will allow Vortex to install them automatically!To reload world textures while in game, there is a hotkey (default Page Down). Note: this doesn't reload any vanilla textures, so if you remove a custom texture file, you'll have to restart the game to see the vanilla texture again.For a list of mods creating custom textures with this mod, click on Requirements above this description.Here's some kind person's video on how to use this mod with premade texture packs.Filter ModeValheim textures use point filtering, which makes them look pixelated up close. If you want to use bilinear or trilinear filtering for higher-res textures, place your textures in a subfolder named bilinear or trilinear and the mod will change the filter mode for those textures (they can still be in sub-subfolders if you.

Difference is that the STEP Optimized Vanilla textures are DDSOpt'ed vanilla textures that are not overridden by the STEP mods. The other page with Tony's textures are the full vanilla set.
