📋 About This Mod
On time to change some of the monsters!
V-Ram usage highly reduced for all types except 4k and 8k.
Also corrected the meshes to show the gills/branchiae as known from concept art.
Come back and endorse!
thanks a lot for your support, you are just great!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 648 endorsements and over 31k downloads
- Performance-friendly: claims less VRAM usage than the original, so you can push higher res without tanking your rig
- Flexible resolution options (1k-8k) let you match your hardware and screen size
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in April 2023 — might not be fully compatible with the latest Fallout 4 patches or next-gen update
- No explicit install instructions or compatibility notes provided by the author
- Parallax support is optional and may require additional setup or mods to work properly
For Fallout 4 players who want sharper, more detailed mirelurks without sacrificing frame rates. If you're a texture junkie with a beefy GPU, the 8k option is for you; if you're on a mid-range rig, the 1k-2k options keep things smooth. Skip if you're not bothered by vanilla mirelurk textures or if you're playing on a potato.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—no manual file placement needed.
- For the parallax effect, make sure you have a compatible ENB or parallax shader mod installed, otherwise it won't show.
- Start with 2k textures if you're unsure about performance; you can always upgrade to 4k or 8k later.
