The new official texture patch, should I in my case?

Hey all,

 

Here is the deal. I was considering getting the texture pack, but bc of the previous higher res texture packs released on nexus, I decided to use them. My game would hang randomly while I played. So I did some looking and found out that having the esp's of the original texture pack activated in your mods list, would cause my game and mods to have some issue. I turned them off, and my game works great. I am thinking that dling this new pack might cause my stutter issue to come back. Does anyone have any thoughts/experience/etc with this issue?

 

It is very frustrating when your game looks great and runs at high fps, but the game stutters every time you try to turn the camera or walk.

I don't see any "new" texture pack listed on Steam, only the original "Skyrim High-Resolution Texture Pack" released on Feb 7, 2012.

Are you referring to some new texture mod here, or a mod in the Steam Workshop?

 

As far as the official HR texture pack, you do not need to and should not activate the esp that they come with, add the texture BSA files to your ini paths and they will work just fine. They have not interfered with any mods I use, including any texture mods from here.

Ex.

There is a new Hi-Res textures DLC that is basically a repackaging of the previous Hi-Res texture DLC (albeit with a few texture fixes) plus Hi-Res textures for those introduced by the other DLCs.
