📋 About This Mod
Tree Bark HD Reduced v1. 0 ========================== by Darooz and amnes reduced by Xerus Description ============ The original tree bark HD textures by Darooz and amnes look really good in the game, but they may increase the stuttering noticeably, because many of the textures have a very high resolution of 4096x2048 or 2048x2048. Apart from this, some normal maps have for no apparent reason black alpha channels that don\'t make any visuall difference but make the files unnecessary larger. So I have created a reduced version of the tree bark HD textures where the 4096x2048 textures are scaled down to 2048x1024 and the 2048x2048 textures to 1024x1024. Furthermore the unnecessary alpha channels were removed. The total size of the texture package was reduced to less than one-third of the original one. The visual difference is hardly noticeable and the performance impact is not as drastic anymore. Mip maps are also included of course. Installation ============= Copy the folder \"Textures\" to your \"Oblivion\\Data\\\" directory. (An archive invalidation could possibly be necessary that can easily be done with the Oblivion Mod Manager.) Credits ======== Thanks to Darooz and amnes for the original tree bark HD textures

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust: 2,679 endorsements and 255,160 downloads show it's a go-to for many.
- Keeps the visual upgrade while cutting the performance hit—great for mid-range rigs.
- Simple drop-in replacement; no complex setup needed.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013—might not be optimized for newer game versions or mods.
- Only covers tree bark; other textures remain untouched, so visual consistency may vary.
For Skyrim players who want better tree textures without sacrificing FPS, especially on older hardware. Also for modders who want a performance-friendly base for their load order. Skip if you're after a complete texture overhaul—this only touches tree bark.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no load order tweaks needed.
- If you're using other tree mods, install this after them so it overwrites the bark textures.
- Check if your game version still supports old texture formats; if you're on a newer patch, test in a forest area first.
