Optimization - BSA or LOOSE?


GunerX

Question

Following the STEP Core program most users will end up with some Optimized versions of the HDdlc and Vanilla textures.

 

Based on what I know of LOOSE vs BSA, BSA would be better right? I could be TOTALLY wrong on this.

 

Should I repack my HDdlc loose files into a BSA and have MO manage it?

 

Would this hurt the game or help it?

 

Or would this make absolutely no difference at all?

If you repack the BSAs you need to use the archive.exe included with CK in your Skyrim folder. DDSopt and BSAopt do not do it correctly with the latest BSA version.

Good to know.

 

But is there any performance gain by doing this?

Well...now Im not sure if that would help me.

 

I think it would...but maybe you know more than me.

 

Here's what I've got:

 

 

40GB SSD - has Skyrim Game

1TB HDD - has MO and all Mods

 

Since MO (I am not 100% on this) virtualizes everything and shows it to Skyrim somehow, I am assuming that the HDD would benefit from the further compression, right?
