INSTALLATION:
MAIN TEXTURES
To install simply unzip the downloaded file using 7-zip or similar compatible software (think Winzip doesn't work).
This BETA version is using the older system, and so, for now, simply copy the unzipped folder (valheim_data) into the Valheim main folder, the one with the .exe file in it. There is also a Custom Graphics .dll included in this download, it requires BepinEx but enables anisotropic filtering.
TERRAIN TEXTURES
This is important, as the vanilla terrain tiles are too low resolution for the pack really, but it's NOT ESSENTIAL. It's just highly recommended. However, assuming you want to use the terrain tiles too, it requires both BepInEx and Badger's HD Terrain mod to work.
Step-by-step
1 - Download BepinEx, install in valheim main folder
2 - Download Badger's HD Terrain, unzip, and copy the files into Bepinex/Plugins folder
3 - Download Willybach's Valheim Upscaled file. Unzip, using 7-zip, and copy files into the BepInEx plugins folder
4 - Download Willybach's Valheim Upscaled Terrain file, unzip and copy the files inside (Terrain + TerrainLOD) into the BepInEx plugins folder, these files should overwrite Badger's tiles. (If you don't overwrite Badger's tiles, you will actually have HD terrain, without the far lower resolution textures of this pack)
PERFORMANCE:
I recommend using the Boot config file text additions:gfx-enable-gfx-jobs=1
gfx-enable-native-gfx-jobs=1
scripting-runtime-version=latest
wait-for-native-debugger=0
vr-enabled=0
hdr-display-enabled=0
gc-max-time-slice=12

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Freshly updated (April 2026) so it's likely compatible with current Valheim patches.
- Over 2,500 downloads shows it's been tried by a decent number of players.
- Simple premise: just upscaled textures, no gameplay changes to worry about.
⚠️ Cons
- Low endorsement count (26) compared to downloads—maybe not everyone's favorite.
- No detailed description of what exactly is upscaled or how it differs from other upscale mods.
- Only two authors credited, so support might be limited if issues arise.
For Valheim players who want sharper textures without overhauling the game's look. If you're tired of blurry surfaces and want a quick visual boost, this could be your pick. Skip if you're looking for major graphical overhauls or gameplay tweaks—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture mod, make sure to back up your original files or use a mod manager to avoid conflicts.
- Check if the mod requires BepInEx or other Valheim modding tools—if not, it's likely a simple file replacement.
- If you're using other texture mods, load order might matter; test to see which takes priority.
