Spacesuits Redone - MonstrrMagic Texture Series

Original Spacesuit textures were a mix of 1K or 2K resolution. Now you have 4K and 2K resolution options, plus 8K. All options should offer improvement over the originals, to varying degrees.

The main files have Color and Normal maps in 2K or 4K resolution and Black & White maps in half that, however there are also higher res versions in the Optional Files for folks who want even higher quality. I put them up that way mostly due to the large file size. You can overwrite the main pack with the optional ones, although I also put those there largely as a modders' resource (see permissions section).

I have upscaled them using chaiNNer and AI-generated ESRGAN models with full mipmaps. Version 3 BA2 archives created with BA2 Upgrader.

INSTALLATION

BA2v3 ARCHIVES (Recommended)

Put the BA2 file directly into the game directory, and you will also need to add the BA2 archive name to the ini file at My Games\Starfield\StarfieldCustom.ini, or Steam\steamapps\common\Starfield\Starfield.ini

Look for the section and at the bottom (under sResourceIndexFileList=Starfield) post the archive name for the file that you are using.

Archive names are:

Spacesuits Redone 4K-2K.ba2

Spacesuits Redone 2K1K.ba2

You can overwrite the archives with any of the loose files options.

LOOSE FILES

Vortex/MO2 Install: this mod should load directly from the game directory

Manual Install: Unzip the mod, then copy the data folder and paste it into Documents/My Games/Starfield, making sure that you also have the appropriate ini edits (uploaded here)

MORE INFO

I plan to upscale nearly all game textures piece by piece. Each type of game object/texture requires different treatment and I'm going slowly through them in order to produce the best results. Please track my mods to get notified of new releases.

ABOUT ME

I have released over 250 mods, nearly all texture optimization or upscaling for Skyrim and Cyberpunk 2077. My work has been featured in a number of gaming magazines over the past two years.

You can find me in v2's Starfield discord here, and all my graphics mods are included in either the Main Constellation Collection, or in one of the associated graphics packs.

FAQs:

Why single mods instead of an AIO?

I do plan to release some AIO mods later, but I want to be able to address bugs and make improvements at each stage of this project and also allow users to pick and choose which textures they want to improve based upon their gameplay and pers
