📋 About This Mod
I love Mihail's creature models so decided to clean the textures and offer optional files for better quality.
Saved in a better format and removed bad compression so Skyrim uses less Vram loading it so means more FPS and Performance.
Comes with 2k version which textures are 2048 or under unless it was a 4k texture to begin with.
This one comes with Enhanced textures version. It's like 2k but less bytes because all textures were scaled to 4x, downscaled by half, then any larger textures than 2048 have been scaled to that except textures that were meant to be 4k in the original textures.
In a nutshell Enhanced is a lighter version of 2k.
2X is all textures are increased by twice the normal size with twice the quality. In this mod the 2x is basically 4k textures because almost all of them are at 4k quality which is size 4096
4x is same as 2x but its four times everything but not recommended for Gameplay unless your taking Screen shots.
No Bsa because the mod has textures as loose files so just overwrite the textures with the clean ones.
Of course you need Bone Colossus- Mihail Monsters and Animals (MIHAIL SSE PORT) for the models and such
Go check out Mihail's content since he has pretty amazing stuff and updates lot of his models to improve the quality.
MihailMods rules applies here.
So it means if you got permission to use Bone Colossus from Mihail in a mod then you can use these textures for that mod.
