Is High-Res Texture pack included?

[RandalMcdaniel]

I noticed the high res texture pack is not included in this version by default, is there a special edition high res pack?

If not can we install the HD res pack from skyrim?

HD res packs from skyrim probably won't work, what with this being a different engine and 64 bit too.

It is included, but just like the DLCs it is not listet as such - everything is there from the start. The HD textures are now the standard ones, the old SD ones are no longer included.

They're the only textures in the game now, saves size and everyone has at least 2GB VRAM anyway nowadays.

They actually do. Not all of them though.

The textures in SSE are textures from the high-res pack, run through a 2x upscaler. They look the same as the HD pack, but take up a lot more vram.

If you want to save vram and have the same textures, you can still copy over the original high-res pack if you own the original game, but you have to install it correctly for them to load in and even then you'll have a few visual bugs because of small adjustments to waterways and such.

It's actually the same engine just upgraded with things they made for FO4, and the 64-bit conversion has nothing to do with textures, which still load in exactly (read: exactly, as in absolutely no difference) the same way they do for the 32-bit version.

Skyrim SE does NOT use HD texture pack yet. If I could open the BSA's I could provide proof, but for now just take my word as someone who's been modding since The olde days of Doom WADs. Diffuse and normals are still 1024x1024 and 512x512 256x256 mixed, same as Day 1 Skyrim 2011.

Only third party packs, by default it does not have the highres texture pack.

There has been a High Res texture pack already released over at Nexus Mods, it is not fully finished but better than the Vanilla textures. http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/1782/?tab=2&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrimspecialedition%2Fajax%2Fmodfiles%2F%3Fid%3D1782&pUp=1

I haven't looked, but I think you're mistaken. The dirt roads alone or much higher resolution than day 1 skyrim. My Vram usage is almost double in Riverwood over the original. I'll have a look at the BSA's tonight.

Maybe the years have been unkind to skyrim because the second i started the game i looked at textures and they all seemed on par with xb360 quality textures
