MOD DESCRIPTION
"This mod is one of the most effective solutions to improve FPS for systems with older graphics cards. It may not offer as much benefit to systems suffering from script lag, high volumes of draw calls, or other CPU-end limitations."
Reduces and optimizes all vanilla textures for maximum FPS gains and WAAAAY faster load times!
Even if you have the worst computer ever, you will probably be able to play Skyrim now.
Have a ton of mods and need an fps boost? Use level 1Have a Chromebook? Level 5 is looking at you amigo...

Level 1 - Reduces textures by 50% = 512k
Level 2 - Reduces Textures by 75% = 256k
Level 3 - Reduces Textures by 87. 5% = 128k
Level 4 - Reduces textures by 93. 75% = 64k
Level 5 - Reduces Textures by 97. 12% = 32k
Only use 1 file at a time.
This mod supersedes Hashesh P2 the highest FPS boost ever made. Level 1 & level 2 are renamed version of HP50 & HP 75 respectively.
My advertised FPS gains are best case scenario, everyone's setup and outcome's are different. This mod ONLY affects VRAM/GPU if your vram and GPU are adequate you will not notice an FPS boost at all.
I have a GTX 1050ti and I am unable to notice an FPS gain AT ALL on my computer.
But for a user who has an integrated GPU, this is the best mod for your computer to gain FPS.
