📋 About This Mod

The High Definition Texture Pack for Starfield is a higher resolution upscaled set of texture packs, designed to completely replace and overhaul ALL of the original/vanilla textures. HDTP is built using a combination of AI models, including models built specifically from previous Bethesda Games, AI models trained on hundreds of professional game textures created by the author, compositing of multiple cherry picked variations, images provided by NASA, then carefully touched up by hand. HDTP combines AI technology, human creativity, and space photography using a one of a kind highly advanced processing system to create the best quality texture packs possible from dozens of possibilities. All textures are currently being upscaled to 2X the original size. In most cases this upscales the standard 2K textures into 4K versions of them, but many are 8K or higher.

!!! THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS !!!

If you would like to download the mod to try it out, please feel free to do so. Keep in mind that this is NOT finished yet.

The primary purpose for releasing this already is to get feedback and allow users the chance to try higher resolution textures.

Instructions

To provide faster loading and less VRAM use I have started packing the files into BA2 V3 files.

The packs have been separated into Level 1 and Level 2 options. Level 1 is designed to be usable for more

GPUs while Level 2 is for high end GPUs with more than 12GB of VRAM.

Other installation methods can be found on the Documents tab!

VORTEX INSTALL

WARNING: Vortex incorrectly warns users that the HDTP mod installer uses 'old' or 'out of date' logic. The logic it is complaining about was only added to support the decision made by Nexus to install mods into a non-standard location - it is code put in place to fix an issue created by Nexus. This is not an HDTP issue, but rather a Nexus/Vortex issue. You can select Mod Organizer 2 as the type of installation (even when using Vortex) to avoid this being an issue in the future. Other mod managers do not have this issue so I would suggest using them instead or installing manually as an alternative.

Install the selected packs with the mod manager and allow the installation to complete.
