DROPPED Tobes Highres Textures (by Tobe)

Tobe's Hi-Res Textures by Tobe

Tobes Highres Textures, one of the mods in STEP, recently posted an update with some additional textures that replace some of the SMIM-specific furniture textures. I looked at Tobes new textures and the replaced textures from SMIM to see which seemed more realistic. To me, the difference is in the type of wood used in the texture. SMIM assumes a relatively coarse grained, soft wood like aspen. Tobes assumes a finer grained, harder wood. There are almost no hardwood trees specifically included in Skyrim, but it is likely that in a Skyrim-like geography there would be some. Furniture in homes in Oblivion cities used fairly high quality wood. Personally I think that the new Tobes textures are more realistic for better homes while the SMIM ones might be more realistic for much simpler homes outside the major cities. The Tobes textures certainly look nicer.

I too prefer the Tobes Highres Textures in the new SMIM patch, but I only compared it to the SMIM default textures. Meant to compare it to all 3 during my install but I forgot.

I'm liking the preview shots, I'll add it to my testing list.

No adjustment needed, it already comes after SMIM in the install order, the beauty of STEP :)

 

BTW this thread should have been done under Mod anthology as its a current step mod. Moved.

It looks like the patch moves it to where SMIM meshes look... directory structure is a little different.

 

Textures\smim\clutter\ instead of Textures\clutter

[JudgmentJay]

Yeah it's a separate patch.

Should I remove (Textures\clutter\furniturewood01.dds

Textures\clutter\furniturewood01_n.dds) from the compatibility patch SMIM?

You know, I was wondering the same thing!

The meshes are what tell skyrim what texture to render. SMIM meshes reassign the texture path where necessary.

Bug in STEP detailed instructions (I hope this is the correct place to post).

 

When installing the SMIM patch per S.T.E.P. be sure to not install:

Textures\clutter\furniturewood01.dds

Textures\clutter\furniturewood01_n.dd

 

In line with not installing these from above when installing the Tobes Highres Textures.

Considering how old this mod is, are these textures still not overwritten by anything yet? (doesn't have to be STEP)

Also, SMIM evolved quite a bit over time, so the provided patch is still allright?

[Kelmych]

Perhaps other texture creators haven't been very interested in simple clutter items like these. For the most part this mod overwrites vanilla and SMIM textures, and only a few textures from other mods overwrite Tobes.

[Octopuss]

Ah ok. I really like what he did with wood. But he could come out of retirement and add more stuff :)

 

I'm also curious whether Brumberk will ever add new textures to SMIM. He does pretty good job, too.

I've just noticed that wiki page is missing pictures and contains apparently outdated information, because I can't find any such files in the mod.

What??? Nothing of what you said appears to be the case.
