intalling Performance Optimized texture via MO2

[hardtroll]

Hi there, 

 

Trying to install "performance texture optimized" for SSE. On some guides, it is said " install it manually by replacing the original one in the data folder"

 

But on the author's page description itr is written  " for MO2 users i would recommend sticking skyrim se main master files and bsa files inside a mod folder loading them before all other mods including skse scripts & plugins." 

So I don' really understand what is ask by the author . On the post page I find this 

"so i have been talking with some of you and remembered something that i have been meaning to cover, which is the black face bug since most do not know what causes this bug i thought i would reveal the real cause of the problem and why it is caused based off of a recent message that i sent trying to help one of you out.
now in MO2 bsa files have to be loaded with a esp because the bsa management function was removed from M02, also when you repack the zip or 7zip file it must be in the Data folder as well otherwise skyrim se will not load the files because it wont see the game path.
since many modders do not pack the bsa and loose files correctly the game will fail to see the files and so instead of loading the files it will turn the npcs face black. with vampires this occurs because many modders do not include the proper textures or tintmasks or meshes that match their body textures and meshes so the game will instead load the default textures and sometimes load the default meshes which conflicts with the custom body and textures and meshes which will cause the black face bug to occur since the meshes and textures dont match "

 

So right now I am not really sure at all about what is the best thing to do for installing this mod. In fact I feel that the installation instruction are really unclear....need help !!

This mod includes bsa archive files that effectively overwrite the "Skyrim - Textures*.bsa" files in the data folder, so all you need to do is install the mod in Mod Organizer just like any other mod. You don't need to do anything else.

So the original files will be kept in the data folder. Then how to be sure that it works as intended ??

Lexy's Legend of the Dragonborn guide uses Performance Optimized Textures and all they do is install it as a normal mod in Mod Organizer. I also do this with my cleaned DLCs -- cleaned versions of Dawnguard.esm, Hearthfires.esm and Dragonborn.ems are installed as mods in Mod Organizer and the original remain in the data folder.

 

Mod Organizer is intelligent enough to know that files in you've installed take precedence over the vanilla files in the data folder.
