2023-Does the High Resolution texture pack break Fallout 4 mods?

[Huntn]

I did a quick search did not find, if it has been discussed please point me at it. If not let's talk here. :D

Its ok. Though sometimes u get the rust face bug.
there are at least 3 sperate patchs for that on nexus.
I run them all and dont have the issue anymore.

There is 0 benefit to having the High Res. texture pack, unless you use full 4K for gaming and even then questionable gains for the instability and bugs.

[Zekiran]

How have you 'done a search' and NOT found the myriad posts about how bad it is?

It is designed for ULTRA high end systems. If you don't have a stupidly massive amount of ram and a very-very high ram video card as well, it wouldn't be advisable to even bother looking into. For its very baseline 'improvement', you should be much more interested in the variety of specific nexus mods that do the same essential thing, and you have complete control over what you are looking at with them.

I have an RTX 3060 12Gb ram. I run the game at 4K and it's fine. The only problem with it is longer loading screens which can be fixed with a mod from the Nexus. I haven't bothered because I don't really care about the loading times. I have no mods so whether it would mess up some them is a question. I suspect some of them would be affected if they deal with textures.

No, it does not break mods.
I'm currently running 450+ plugins with no issues.

what's your secret? : )
I constantly find myself make choices which mods to keep and which ones to disable to stay under 255 plug ins...

That limit is only for *.ESP plugins, not for *.ESL ones.

Thank you for the quick response :)

I did find some of my mods as ESL and this is what I now download preferentially,, but many of the best ones are .esp
Is there a conversion method that is userfriendly?

Here's some good info about the different file extensions:

Vortex has a built-in feature to do that.
It's that feather icon.
Double click the plugin and look for the "Mark as light" option.

Right on!

it doesn't break mods, it's a texture overhaul, so at best it'll cause a texture mismatch or something might go purple, but otherwise no. Nothing will break.

The biggest question should be "why do you want to use it?" because it's total garbage..
There's better mods on places like the Nexus, which are generally better optimised (the DLC is awful) and many use actual high resolutions rather than just stretched as in the DLC...

Honestly, it's not worth using it....

If you've got a decent PC, the Nexus (and other sites) have better options which will look and run better, and on a Lower level PC it's still Nexus etc.. for all the optimisation's that make things run a little better.

I have it on my load list right now.
but its loaded by engine since I got it as a DLC on steam.
Unlike other mods there seems no opton on Vortext to remove it now...
Thoughts?

As far as i know, you can "untick" it in your "manage DLC" tab in steam itself, and it won't install again.
If i remember correctly (and someone should correct me if im wrong) it requires an uninstall and reinstall of the game to work.

However it can be "annoying" and continually download it anyway, so some people have to go a little further;
They have to do it the long winded way of having the DLC removed from the account completely.

If it's working fine for you at current, then i wouldn't mess around with it given you've got Vortex and other mods all set up; but for those reading this and looking at trying it? Just don't.

Do that.

The High Rez DLC pack aint worth the 50gb of space it takes. The difference is BARELY even noticeable. You are talking about something designed in like 2016 for 2016 cards which cards were rapidly changing for far better performance.

If you are good with installing mods there is FAR better mods out there for better textures that take up far less space.
