In a world of fat textures bloating Skyrim’s performance, Supra Size Me offers a diet: downsize your dds texture files to their vanilla dimensions. You know; before they put on the weight. Smaller size fries are better for your body’s performance; supra-sized textures are better for Skyrim’s.
- Downsizes DDS textures to vanilla SSE sizes referencing a json I already made (no fiddling necessary).
- Preserves folder structure.
- Doesn't upsize.
- Console progress log so you know it's doing something and a popup log when complete.
- Batches of up to thousands. Tested on 458 files in 8 minutes with my Ryzen 5 2300 and an SSD.
- Download and Unzip
- Run: Double-click supra_size_me.exe.
- Select your input folder (containing textures/).
- Choose an output folder (defaults to SupraSized/).
- Wait: Watch the console for progress—small batches take seconds, hundreds take minutes.
- Review: Check the popup log for processed and skipped files.
- Compress: Run Cathedral Assets Optimizer (CAO) on the output for BC7 and mipmaps.
- Scope: Covers vanilla SSE BSAs only—Creation Club or custom textures may skip if not in suprasizeme.json. Might add CC stuff later.
- Errors: Log reports issues (e.g., “texconv error” for unsupported formats). pngtemp/ cleans up automatically—check the log if it lingers.
- Cross-Platform: This .exe is Windows-only (tested on 10, likely works on 7/8.1/11). Want MacOS/Linux? Request the script from me (skytinerant) via Nexus Mods messages—I’ll share supra_size_me.py. You’ll need Python, Pillow, and a recompiled texconv (see DirectXTex GitHub).
- Customization: Edit suprasizeme.json to add sizes—JSON key is the path minus textures/ (e.g., actors/bear/bear_n.dds).
- skytinerant: I made this to reduce my workload on The New Normal, thought I'd share to save you some trouble too.
