How to change official HD texture pack.

[vinh834]

I have the official HD texture pack installed because it changes all textures, but when I installed the "Sexy Whiterun" texture pack, the official textures would load after the MOD and not load the Mod. I tried the forum page that tries to remedy this, but the sexy whiterun mod does not have and esp and the sort.

quoted from CBBE mod description, works for all textures

 

 

For those who have downloaded the new High Res Texture pack DLC:

By default, the texture pack overrides all of the texture files in skyrim/data/textures. To fix:

1) Find the correct .ini file

- for most users, it will be the My Documents/My Games/Skyrim/skyrim.ini.

- for others, it will be the Skyrim/Skyrim_default.ini.

2) Open the file and search for sResourceArchiveList

3) Edit the line after that to add the values and save the file:

HighResTexturePack01.bsa, HighResTexturePack02.bsa someplace after "Skyrim - Textures.bsa".

The line should be something very similar to:

 

sResourceArchiveList=Skyrim - Misc.bsa, Skyrim - Shaders.bsa, Skyrim - Textures.bsa, HighResTexturePack01.bsa, HighResTexturePack02.bsa, Skyrim - Interface.bsa, Skyrim - Animations.bsa, Skyrim - Meshes.bsa, Skyrim - Sounds.bsa

 

Make extra sure you have commas after all the file names, or Skyrim will quietly crash.

4) When loading the game in the launcher, choose "Data Files" and uncheck the two high-res texture packs. Don't worry, they'll still work in game.

Or you can extract the BSA archive they came in using bsa unpacker or FOMM and pick and choose individual textures to use.
