📋 About This Mod
Rivet city has some pretty nice textures in the vanilla game. Its just a shame they are a little too small and quite noticeably blurry as you are always right near a wall due to the confines of the ship.
So I took it upon myself to improve them, nothing crazy. 2k max for the biggest ones, all mipmapped all individually tweaked and play tested until I was happy.
