📋 About This Mod
Oblivion Upscaled Textures series by Kartoffels packed into uncompressed BSAs for improved performance and faster loading times. This mod will take up one plugin slot to load all of the thirteen BSAs.
This mod is split into four different archives to make the downloading process easier (installation order does not matter). The loose textures in the Part 1 archive are there to overwrite the Unofficial Patch's equivalent loose files. That loose textures folder can be deleted if you aren't using the Unofficial Patches, as they are also contained within the BSAs.
This mod was created by overwriting the following files in this order (starting with kart_OUT_default as the base):
kart_OUT_default
kart_SIUT_default
kart_KNUT_4x
kart_DLCUT_4x
OUT_compressed_DDS_4x_normals
OUT_compresed_DDS_4x_diffuse
I then packaged the final result into thirteen different BSAs (every individual BSA in Oblivion has a 2 GB size limit). One empty ESP is enough to load all of these BSAs. Load this mod's plugin just after all of the official DLCs in your load order. This mod supports all of the official DLCs, but it is harmless to install this mod even if you don't have all of the official DLCs installed.
Requires SkyBSA or some other method of Archive Invalidation. It's also recommended to use this OBSE plugin when using many BSAs: OBL Mod Limit Fix.
There are also BSA versions of the Really Textured Normal Maps - Updated and Bomret's Texture Pack for Shivering Isles v1 with meshes from USIP mods in optional files. They do not require any of the main files and they both include the same ESP as is in the part 1 main file to load their BSAs. These two optional files are both compatible with each other and all of the other BSA files hosted here.
Please support the original mod authors by downloading their mods and donating to them. I merely packed their assets into uncompressed BSAs.
This mod packs Kartoffels' Oblivion Upscaled Textures series into uncompressed BSAs for better performance and faster loading times, using one plugin slot for all thirteen archives. It's a performance-focused alternative for players who want high-res textures without the usual load time hit.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Performance boost: uncompressed BSAs load faster and reduce stutter, a real win for a texture overhaul
- Clean install: one plugin slot for thirteen archives keeps your load order tidy
- Community trust: 343 endorsements and nearly 200k downloads show it's widely used and appreciated
⚠️ Cons
- Not standalone: you still need to download the original Oblivion Upscaled Textures mods separately, which adds setup steps
- Uncompressed BSAs take up more disk space than compressed alternatives, so watch your storage
- Last updated in August 2026, but no explicit compatibility notes for the latest Oblivion patches or other texture mods
For Oblivion players who already use Kartoffels' upscaled textures and want smoother performance and faster load times. Skip if you're looking for a standalone texture overhaul or if you're tight on disk space.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the original Oblivion Upscaled Textures mods installed first, as this BSA pack only repacks them.
- Use a mod manager like Wrye Bash or OBMM to install the BSA and ensure it loads after the original texture mods.
- If you're using other texture mods, place this BSA pack low in your load order to avoid conflicts.
