Is it possible to use the texture pack DLC and texture mods? : V

» Tue May 29, 2012 4:10 pm

I love the improvements made to clothing, but I prefer the mods I have installed for everything else. For some reason the DLC seems to overwrite all of my mods even if I reinstall them after enabling the DLC.

And it doesn't just effect armor packs.. it effect a ton of different things textures of buildings... food... floors, sky, npcs.... etc.. so forth..... it's weird

I installed the DLC textures over my HD textures mod and it works fine for me, infact it seems to look even better

nope no worky

How to use the new Official Hi-Res texture pack with user created mods:

1. Disable or delete the esps that came with the official texture pack.

2. Backup then open
SteamApps\Common\Skyrim\Skyrim_default.ini
&
Documents\My Games\Skyrim\Skyrim.ini

3. Change this in both files:
[Archive]
sResourceArchiveList=Skyrim - Misc.bsa, Skyrim - Shaders.bsa, Skyrim - Textures.bsa, Skyrim - Interface.bsa, Skyrim - Animations.bsa, Skyrim - Meshes.bsa, Skyrim - Sounds.bsa

To this:
[Archive]
sResourceArchiveList=Skyrim - Misc.bsa, Skyrim - Shaders.bsa, Skyrim - Textures.bsa, Skyrim - Interface.bsa, Skyrim - Animations.bsa, Skyrim - Meshes.bsa, Skyrim - Sounds.bsa, HighResTexturePack01.bsa, HighResTexturePack02.bsa

4. Save both files.

Now user created mods will be able to override what they need to override in the official texture pack.

Nope. .doesn't work...

Both INI files

skyrim_default.ini
