Mod replaces terrain ground textures to higher quality remade ones. These are completely new textures.
This does NOT include cliff textures, which there are alot of.
Textures are remade while trying to match the vanilla look but still improve the visuals.
Few of the textures have gotten more varied look from vanilla. Textures are not AI or upscaled.
Color and Normal maps are 2048px
Roads are 4096px
Vanilla is 256px - 1024px
Performance

and ~300mb more VRAM usage.
