📋 About This Mod
Ultra high resolution (4k) handmade retexture of Hrothmund's Axe
rimuDMICBQo
Includes two versions:
-Ultra quality: 4096X4096 textures eating 32mb of vram.
-High quality: 2048X2048 downscaled textures (same resolution as official high-res DLC) that will save 24mb.
Only use high quality if you are really vram limited or ultra causes issues.
However if you are experiencing vram related crashes i'd recommed looking at what's really eating it, for example, landscape or arquitecture retextures.
---IMPORTANT---
Hrothmund's axe is not playable in dragonborn dlc so Painkiller's Axe of Hrothmund (or any similar mod) is required.
------------------
Compatibility
------------------
It should be compatible with anything, unless, obviously, they replace the same textures.
It has only been tested with Painkiller's mod and i recommed it, if the textures don't work with another mod don't complain and use Painkiller's one.
-----------------
Installation:
-----------------
Use NMM to install or drop the textures manually in Data folder, uninstall by removing them if done manually.
I really appreciate feedback, endorsements, comments, user screenshots and such...
Don't forget to enjoy it :)
