Shaikoten Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) So you want Skyrim to look better but you don't have the time or patience to look through every freaking SkyrimNexus entry and look at all of the new mods as they come out, try them and tweak them. You wish there was a single pack you could download to make things EASY for you. One file, one install, one link. That's all. Your wish has now come closer to reality. After a lot of emails, PMs, and creative collaboration I've gotten a bunch of texture artists to work with one another on a full Skyrim retexture project. Tonight is the team's first alpha release! This is intended as an internal build, but luckily for you, team membership is pretty informal. Things aren't perfect yet, and we need the help of testers and contributors to get it there, but it is currently the most comprehensive pack you'll find. With the permission of all of the artists, it includes work by Nebula1, Iskou, Ghogiel, Tobe, and Mystik, with more to come very soon. The Pretty Pack aims to be a full retexture of Skyrim to increase the quality of all of the game's texture assets, while being faithful to Bethesda's original art direction. In many cases the textures we include will be higher resolution, designed for PC gaming rather than consoles. We deserve better! If you want instant updates on the project, follow @Shaikoten on twitter. If you want to chat with people involved in the project, join #prettypack on the Quakenet IRC network. If you want me to shut up and give you the link to our first release, here you go! PRETTY PACK A001 - 188.66 MB: http://www.mediafire.com/?i99unovnrxd9hkh Please enjoy, and give our artists some feedback! A few selected screenshots taken from the various author's pack pages (I could only post 10) -- we'll take screenshots with the combined pack soon.

Waaaghbafet Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 You probably don't care, or I don't mind. But pictures = more downloads :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowderdToastMan Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 why dont you upload it onto the nexus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvinkun Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) Could someone tell me how much could this affect FPS? I play on preset-medium with all distances maxed out and textures on ultra with about 40FPS on average, so I wonder if I can afford this or not. @PowderdI'm not sure if Nexus can handle 200mb downloads in it's current state.

Shaikoten Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) So true about screenshots being better. But they're mostly already well known packs, I'll probably just recycle the author's screenshots for the time being. It will be uploaded onto the nexus soon, but this is just a quick internal release before we go really public with it. On FPS effect... it doesn't noticeably affect mine at all, and I'm about 40fps on ultra before and after the pack.

elvinkun Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I'll give it a shot then, hope the uninstall isn't something scary, just folder deleting, in case it makes my computer burn :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaikoten Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 To uninstall, just delete the texture folder inside your data folder. It's that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvinkun Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Looks like there is absolutely no FPS loss, while the textures are very noticable ... Can't wait for more. So... Thanks for now :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaikoten Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 Updated with a few screenshots in the OP under spoilers. I imagine there may be some small FPS loss when we complete more, but I doubt it will be very large. Actually what's more noticeable for me is increased loading time, but it's still very tolerable to me, and I have a particularly slow hard drive.
