jedimembrain Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) Just noticed Skyrim updated this morning with a new High-Res pack for the Dragonborn DLC.. Problem.. The old method of inserting "HighResTexturePack03.bsa" into the Skyrim.ini Archive load list doesn't seam to be loading this new pack.. I have to enable the BSA file to get it to show up. This means I can't mod any textures in the game without loosing the HD pack or unpacking. Anyone else notice this or attempt to find a work around?

SilentStorm Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 So wait you mean if you add the bsa to the achive secion in skyrim.ini then the textures dont work in game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imperistan Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Just extract the textures and put them in your data folder. Far, far easier than messing around with the BSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tru3blu3 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 good idea imperistan.. probably load quicker that way too right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imperistan Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Probably. It also helps if you manually install mods (like I do) when you want to replace specific things but leave others. With BSA's it all just gets overridden or ignored regardless of what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentStorm Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I take it doing things that way means you dont need the esps active anymore? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kromey Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 All of this is no longer necessary, guys -- as of Skyrim patch 1.4 or 1.6 (I forget which), loose files now override BSAs, instead of the other way 'round. I'm quite happily enjoying various textures installed as loose files, with the official high-res DLC BSAs installed exactly as they were when I downloaded them from Steam. So the short version: Just lease the high-res texture pack .esp/.bsa files untouched in your load order, and install as many other texture mods as you wish. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
