About this mod

Patches to add parallax to meshes.

WHAT IS NEW IN VERSION 2.0

Version 2.0 is a complete recreation of the mod.
Please uninstall the original version instead of just overwriting it.

  • The script I was using was not always calculating the path of the *_p.dds file correctly. This has been fixed.
  • The script is now more selective about which textures it converts.
  • This doesn't just patch mods anymore... I also converted thousands of vanilla meshes. It still includes important fixes such as USSEP and SMIM.
  • Removed some meshes that were causing a CTD.

HARD REQUIREMENTS


You also need to download the Better Dynamic Snow patches for any mods that you use.
For example, if you use Majestic Mountains, then you also need Better Dynamic Majestic Mountains.
I you are missing a patch for any mod that adds snow to objects, the textures may glitch.

I made some of my own patches, which can be found here: Better Dynamic Snow Patch Collection (v2.11).

STRONGLY RECOMMENDED


There are a lot of good reasons to use Mod Organizer 2 instead of a different mod manager.
Part of the reason I recommend it here is because it may be easier if you install the main file and the optional files separately.

WHAT DOES THIS MOD DO?

This mod edits many meshes to enable parallax. You still need to download the parallax textures somewhere else.

In addition to covering many vanilla meshes, it also covers new meshes added by some mods.
Creating a separate patch for every mod would have been extremely tedious, so I merged as much into the main file as I could.
It's okay if you don't use all of these. The extra meshes shouldn't cause problems.
Examples:

For vanilla meshes, I tried to include additional fixes by other mod authors when possible.
This mod only includes the meshes that actually benefit from parallax, so I still recommend downloading the other mods; just let this mod overwrite them.
Examples:

RECOMMENDED LOAD ORDER

  • almost all of your other mods (vanilla meshes, lighting, towns, cities, interiors, quests)
  • Skyrim 2020 Parallax by Pfuscher
  • this mod
  • mods that use textures in a non-vanilla way (Majestic Mountains, 3D Series, Glorious Doors, etc.)

WHAT MODS ARE IN THE SCREENSHOTS?

Too many to list. I might make a guide at some point.
The weather and lighting is NLA and Lux.
The ENB I am using is not on the Nexus.

HELP MY GAME CRASHED!

Follow these steps:

  • Install .NET Script Framework.
  • Do whatever it was that made you game crash.
  • Find you crash logs. (in Mod Organizer 2 the folder is usually "overwrite\NetScriptFramework\Crash")
  • Search the error log for ".nif". Remove that file from this mod.
  • Let me know the name of the file in the comments so I can fix it for everyone else.
  • Let me know which location in game contained the mesh that caused the crash.
