Environment Overhaul (Better Environment Textures) (Nextgen and Oldgen)

What is it?

This mod is a retexture of the terrain and some rocks (to fit the style of the terrain). I felt like some areas and textures of the game lacked detail, so I added new pbr materials to the terrain. Especially Kaer Morhen bothered me and always felt uninspired to me. So I tried to change it with new textures.

This mod aims to bring some fresh air to the game visually while not drastically changing the mood of the game or the environment. It aims to enhance, give more detail. My goal is not to keep the vanilla style, but to give a balanced and more detailed feel of the area that actual feels real and not out of place.

This mod provides:

- new groundtextures for Skellige, White Orchard, Velen, Kaer Morhen in 2k

- new 4k textures for rocks

- new textures for stalagmites

- handcrafted textures created with quixel mixer and pbr textures from quixel megascans

- some mesh improvements (fixed LOD for some meshes, covered hard egdes, new ivy mesh)

- works for next gen and old gen/DX11 (1. 32) --> look at the file title.

- NO AI

Installation instructions

Drop the mod in your mods folder. 

Compatibility

This mod includes an updated version of my MOSS mod, so dont use them together. The new moss only works on DX12. So if you are on DX11 (nextgen), use the old gen mod version. I will make a standalone DX11 nextgen update in the future (probably...)

This mod is not compatible with other texture mods. So if you use HDRP (or some other texture mod, that changes the appearance of the terrain or the rocks) you have to give my mod highest priority. Then you should not have any problems.
