Texture mods - what are you guys using and why ?

[MF]

I installed Willybach's mod primarily because it didn't require me to install anything else. Just dropped the files into my directory and boom. Of course, every time the game updates I have to go back to the previous beta version, but that's modding for you.

I'm pretty happy with the visuals (I use the 4k package) but then again I've never seen anything else. Not sure if you can mix these types of mods in Valheim of not. I used to go absolutely crazy with different texture packs when modding Skyrim.

What is everyone else using and why ?

Plain vanilla all day... Because there's nothing wrong with the beautiful art style of this game.

I pretty much have not once thought anything I saw in this game was "ugly"... well I take that back...

Not very impressed with the female avitars.... everything else, awesome IMO.

Vanilla sucks in 2023... Wlilybach's textures are UNREAL couldn't play without them.

That's different, but not necessarily "better". What "looks good" is subjective, and different for each viewer, and I personally, don't find any fault in the vanilla art style and am quite happy to play it, as it was made rather than change it all to someone else's art style.

I tried mods, early on, and I didn't care for how I suddenly felt like I was playing a different game entirely... because it wasn't the game the devs made... it was someone else's version of how they thought the game should be.... and it was way different than vanilla... I deleted them all and never looked back... strictly vanilla, and I'm ok with that.

Great textures on some of those things... most things I saw I preferred vanilla, but that's just my view.

You don't need to justify your preferences bro... one man's rags is another man's riches. ;)

Yeah that's the one I use as well; I couldn't go back to vanilla. Was wondering if any of the others are any good or comparable.

None, because I, too, find nothing wrong with vanilla. The style is chosen for a reason, and I agree with it.

Nothing wrong with modding, though, either. To each their own.

Hmm..I like the outdoor scenes, but I think the wood grain on the building pieces is overdone. Makes that workshop look too dark and dingy.
