📋 About This Mod
7. 2 NOTICE:
This mod will still work in 7. 2, but will have visual glitches on items that were improved with 7. 2. For example, ARR Dragoon armor. I may patch this later, but right now I am not playing FFXIV.
This mod does not upscale new items added in 7. 1 or 7. 2. For example, 7. 1/7. 2 raid gear.
This covers all mobs in the game up to and including 7. 0 (dawntrail) with different modules.
Mob: any NPC classified as demihuman or monster. For example Gaia is a demihuman, Zenos is a monster.
It just means they don't use the player Races. For example Emet-Selch is not a mob and uses a special elezen head.
Kartoffels Upscaled Mob Textures - Ultra Light
This covers a small set of 'Mob' NPCs such as zenos, varis, thordan, meteion, gaia. These NPCs are very important so I separated them out for the ultralight version.

--- I do not recommend the following except for people taking screenshots. But since they exist it would be rude not to provide them.
Kartoffels Upscaled Mob Textures - Mounts and Minions
This covers mounts and minions + player summons.
File size : 3 GB Download, ~ 6 GB Unpacked
Kartoffels Upscaled Mob Textures - Named
This covers any Mob named by the game in the overworld or cutscenes.
This mod includes "Ultra Light" in its entirety.
This mod also includes a few minions/mounts that show up in cutscenes. You would still need the "Kartoffels Upscaled Mob Textures - Mounts and Minions" to get full coverage.

Kartoffels Upscaled Mob Textures - Misc
This covers any mob not in the above 3 categories. This one is not recommended unless you are posing certain bosses.

You can find my FFXIV mods here on the Nexus or on Heliosphere.
I offer heliosphere because it provides automatic updates for small differences. Which is a better user experience.
Heliosphere will have faster updates.
I offer nexus because it provides full integrity of the file structure. Which is better for modders.
PLEASE ONLY INSTALL THESE WITH PENUMBRA. THESE PACKS ARE TOO LARGE FOR TEXTOOLS.
Future Nexus Updates:
If you want speedy low effort updates please use heliosphere as I suggested. There is even a tool I made to create a de-obfuscated copy of the mods.
Otherwise:
An update will consist of the Penumbra Mod's folder which you will OVERWRITE the previous version with.
Instructions:
[*]Download Update, open the zipped file to Penumbra folder (e.g. "K

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-backed with 377 endorsements
- Over 13,000 downloads show it's widely used
- Straightforward visual upgrade for creatures
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers mobs, not other textures like items or environments
- May conflict with other texture overhauls that touch the same files
- No detailed patch notes, so exact changes are unclear
For players who want sharper, more detailed creature textures without changing gameplay. If you're tired of blurry mobs and want a quick visual boost, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for gameplay tweaks or full texture overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, install this mod and let it overwrite when prompted to ensure the textures apply.
- Check if you have other texture mods installed; load order may affect which textures appear in-game.
- Since this is a texture-only mod, it should be compatible with most gameplay mods, but always test after installing.
