📋 About This Mod
UPDATE !!
Heyo, know it's a bit late but I've redone the mod for the people who wanted it. I've reduced ALL the textures for terrain including the new DLC. Again, I have no idea whether or not this has impact on the game at all other than maybe loading faster? If anyone would like to look deeper into that go for it lol. But I don't play this game very often because I've just grown bored of souls games in general but, figured I'd fix this since some people were asking me to.
Well here ya go, took me a couple hours to unpack and repack because I suck at scripting anything lmao. I'll try to throw the scripts in optional downloads if any tech savvy person would like to recreate this on their own. But idk if Nexus will verify them as safe since they are powershell scripts.
The tools I used were Yabber, UXM Selective Unpacker, and Cathedral Assets Optimizer. As well as some scripts I threw together with some help from AI (Not trying to learn powershell or batch file syntax rn so yeah). They work as intended on my Windows 10 system with PowerShell 5.
