New 1.1 version is out:

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=5400

Skyrim: Realistic Overhaul v1_1
===================================================

Features:

- SRO 1_1 version contain previous Landscape textures. Some are new, but mostly normal maps are improved. They reflect lighting properly now.
- New feature are Cities, Temples, Dungeons, Villages textures.

- Architecture:

- Markarth
- Riften
- Solitude
- Whiterun
- Windhelm
- Winterhold
- Skyhaventemple
- Sovngarde
- Highhrothgar

- Dungeons:

- Caves
- Dwemer Ruins
- Imperial
- Nordic
- Riften

- Villages are also improved and some interior textures.

- Texture resolution is mostly 2048k.
- Mountains are now also 2048k. 4096k version will be optional, separate download.
- My original plan was to put this pack in to separated bsa files. But because of size it was not an option.
- Mod is packed in to 3 parts. Unpacked is 3.8gb large.
- 1200 textures is replaced.

=========================================================================================================

Recommendation:

- For additional interior, furniture, food, cloth, armor... textures i recommend official Bethesda HD DLC.

=========================================================================

System Requirements:

- Textures are much larger in this mod so you should have at least 4gb of RAM, and 64-bit OS.
- Your graphic card should have minimum 1gb of VRAM. More is recommended especially if you want 4096k mountains.

=====================================================================================

Installation:

- Extract "textures" folder from all 3 parts to Skyrim Data folder.
=============================================

Great mod. I like how the textures are basically the same style as Bethesda's, yet much higher resolution. It's like the HD version of the official HD texture pack

. However, I'm stuck with part 2 and 3 of the 2048 version because I can't seem to download properly from nexus without NMM (a normal download disconnects midway through the 1gb download). Is it possible to make part 1 downloadable through NMM?

But 2 and 3 part are available through NMM.

Part 1 will be available later.

Has anybody tried using http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=2146 as a base and then overwriting with Skyrim Realistic Overhaul? I'm wondering how much overlap there is and whether it creates and tiling or texture transition problems. Thanks for any feedback.

Why would you do this?

I don't think it would cause any issues but as he said ^... why?

Great work on the textures, this mod doesn't get as much recognition as it deserves.

If you overwrite some landscape mode with my mod, only my textures will be visible.

So there's no point.

My question was meant to inquire if there are textures in Serious HD that are not in Skyrim Realistic Overhaul. SRO would overwrite the textures the two mods have in common, but the additional Serious HD textures (if there are any) would remain.

True.

What textures SHD contain is unknown to me.

It would be great if you could upload a .torrent version (similar to what Skyrim HD did) as a mirror on the nexus. That would make downloading this mod so much easier.

What's wrong with Nexus?

What's wrong with Nexus?

I live in a place where I use a 3G connection to connect to the internet. Unfortunately, it's mostly quite spotty and I sometimes get disconnects, especially if I download files too large (>500) megabytes. It's not a problem of speed as much as it's a problem with disconnects. I've tried downloading this mod through nexus, NMM or just normally, but my connection always gets cut off and I end up with a corrupt file. Even NMM can't resume a download properly if a disconnect occurs and just ends up redownloading the whole 1GB file again (and failing). Now, if there was a torrent to download from, this problem would not occur as a torrent downloader can recover from broken connections no matter what and if a file was 100% complete, it really was complete and not a corrupt download. Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to use this mod as it seems like the best texture mod for Skyrim right now. I just don't have a stable connection at this moment and would love a torrent that would allow me to complete the download.

I agree, a torrent download would make it easier to download such a large mod. There's a reason Blizzard uses torrents internally for their WoW/Starcraft 2 downloader, and that's because it ensures a complete file will be downloaded. For now, I'm just stuck with part 3 because that's the only file I can download as the 1gb parts get corrupted due to dropped connections.

I understand.

But i have problems with my net speed. It's pretty slow, so i really hate to upload big files. I was also having problems to upload this mod.

There are people who have 10 times better speed and have my mod, so i'm gonna ask them to upload. You can do the same.
