📋 About This Mod

IF ANYONE OUT THERE KNOWS OF A BUDGET, QUALITY TABLET/PEN SETUP FOR DRAWING WITH PHOTOSHOP, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD TELL ME WHAT IT IS

Small update - Read the change log.

They are twice as large as the vanilla textures (I don't know how to math.  Original textures were 1024x1024.  Now its 2048 or 4096.  I think its a little more than twice the size), you will have a very _slight_ performance drop.  My frame rate drops less than 1 fps, from 46 to 45. 5 using these textures.  (It will probably drop 1-3 frames if yer in downtown Boston) Small price to pay so you dont look at this all day

Feedback is important! I do take it to heart.  All of the feedback I've gotten so far has been tremendous help, and makes it so I can create a better mod for you guys :3

TO DO:

  • []Make an option for 8" bricks, in keeping with lore of Boston []Fix alpha channels on trim textures. []Learn how to properly make the diffuse map add in dirt texturing. []Find, and remake, all the obscure brick trim textures that aren't specifically named "brick" in the /architecture/building folder
  • Fix Goodneighbor's bricks.  Because I actually never did those >.>  They're probably reused somewhere else to.  They also did not get done.  (sadface)

THANKS TO CHUCKLES 2. 0 FOR FEATURING MY MOD :3  Really inspired me to actually get around to making the 4k version :3
