New HD Pack vs Older HD Pack

[Deathstalker205]

Don't know if anyone has noticed but 'm a stickler and like to know whats going on with everything that gets changed.

 

The downloaded the updated Beth HD textures and found something puzzling, when compairing the old (HighResTexturePack01.bsa) which is (2,015,758,746 bytes, 1.87 gb) with the new (HighResTexturePack01.bsa) which is (1,640,626,582 bytes, 1.52 gb) so that is roughly 350 mb that has been removed from that said file. Don't know if the removed textures was migrated into (HighResTexturePack02.bsa) since it gained a good ammount (roughly ~600 mb if I remember) or into the new (HighResTexturePack03.bsa). Or if they just simply removed some HD textures all together and thus it would be better to still use (HighResTexturePack01.bsa) over the newer one but replacing (HighResTexturePack02.bsa) and using (HighResTexturePack03.bsa) but I intend to find out.

Just curiosity and OCD don't mind me. meh

.bsa 3 is only for DLC 2 textures AFAIK.

And also, they re-arranged the textures a bit, so 1.= armors, clothing, weapons 2. = architecture and some other stuff.

Might not be like I said, I haven't checked in some time. But 3. is for dlc2 textures. (aka. Dragonborn)

I have already realized that 03 is for Dragonborn. Also they claimed the added new textures for Dawngaurd so in my mind that could of caused the influx in 02, I just like to know what is going on in my hard drive thus why I wanted to check it out.

 

EDIT: Well after a spur of boredom and curiosity I found that, They did some what Shadowjin said here:

Thus they removed all the actor textures from 01.bsa, and contrary to Shadowjin's and mine assumption moved them to 03.bsa which consists of Dragonborn textures and Vanilla + Dawngaurd (half other half is located in 02.bsa) Actor textures. 02.bsa influx in size comes from as I figured the new Dawngaurd and Hearthfire textures, They did add one new effect to 01.bsa but removed Dragon Priest Staff, Nightingale Bow, and Rueful axe textures.
