📋 About This Mod
Mimezu Texture project Ver. 0. 2 ================================ Description: ============ I really like the overall textures in the game, only I think that some of them are too blurry and less detailled than others. It especially caught my attention when I jumped on Silver\'s house roof and saw a very blurry chimney. I thought that It might be a good occasion to try myself at some retexturing. I don\'t have too much time on my hands so I don\'t think I will end up retexturing a log of things, but I will add some things to this pack in the future. Especially the doors, since you have to see them close when you open them, they could use some higher resolution :) Don\'t expect brand new textures, my goal is to keep almost exactly the feel of vanilla Fallout, just adding more details, upping the resolution of some textures and reworking some normal maps or things like that. Installation: ============= 1. Extract the archive in your data folder 2. Edit your archiveinvalidation.txt (or create it in the directory where your fallout3.exe file is located) and add those lines : //(for the first pack) textures/architecture/suburban/ranchquaddestroyed_n.dds textures/architecture/suburban/ranchquaddestroyed.dds textures/landscape/RockCanyonCluster01.dds textures/landscape/RockCanyonCluster01_n.dds textures/clutter/fence/whitepicketfence02.dds textures/clutter/fence/whitepicketfence02_n.dds //(for the cave sandy ground addon) textures/dungeons/caves/cavesandyfloor01.dds textures/dungeons/caves/cavesandyfloor01_n.dds //(for the wooden boards addon) textures/clutter/junk/wooddetails.dds textures/clutter/junk/wooddetails_n.dds 3. set bInvalidateOlderFiles=1, in you Fallout.ini History ======= 11. 7. 08 Version 0. 1: Initial Release. The destroyed ranch is completely retextured, some seam issue is fixed with the stonewall texture, some tweaks to the normal maps, some more details there and there. Textures rescaled from 1024 to 2048 for the color map (one only texture has everything inside it, that\'s why it was quite blurry to begin with) and the normal map upscaled from 512 to 1024. 11. 9. 08 Version 0. 2: I reworked some more the destroyed ranch textures. I redid the normal map for the wall part from scratch, it is much better now, really showing the dents and holes as they should (look at the screenshots). I also fixed a normal map issue for the roof, in vanilla\'s version the shadows created by the relief on the roof were not in the right spot (look at the roof screenshot). I retextured the destroyed fence, upscaled the texture from 512 to 1024, I think it is quite watchable now, when the vanilla\'s version was a really messy blurry soup :) I also had a first try at retexturing the wasteland rocks. the texture was already 2048 so I didn\'t upscaled it, then the changes are quite subtle, maybe unnecessary, I don\'t know. But since the rocks were already very good, I don\'t

- Adds subtle visual improvements to common areas like houses and rocks
- Lightweight mod that won't impact performance
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2008 — likely incompatible with modern Fallout 3 versions or mod setups

💡 Beginner Tips
