📋 About This Mod
The original mod is required, overwrite or replace the meshes with the ones from this mod.
The polycount for this version is: ~2200 triangles (~ 12% of the original)
For further optimization download also Rabbit Replacer - My optimized textures SE by XTUDO
If you want to use the fluffy rabbits just download Fluffy Rabbit Replacer And Hanging Dead Rabbits Replacer by WillOhTheWisp
He offers also low poly versions but keep in mind however that the low poly rabbit model still has ~ 26. 000 tris.
I don't think that the fluffy models can be further optimized without severely degrading the visual quality.
My goal is to reduce the polycount of these meshes as much as possible while still retaining their original shape.
The optimized models will give you increased performance with minimal impact on visual quality.
I do this for the people that want to increase their fps, run their PC cooler, play SKYRIM VR
or simply do not have a PC powerful enough to run the original version of the mods.
