STEP Compilation Installer - upgrade to HighRes?

[Bandy]

Hello, nothing found in search for this topic.

 

Long story why, but can the STEP Compilation Installer be upgraded to 'HighRes' if 'Normal Res' procedures were followed throughout the STEP-x install?

 

I assume so, but would all earlier core mod installs (at medium) have to be reinstalled at high to benefit from the 'HighRes' STEP Comp Installer? 

 

OR would the HighRes compilation installer simply overwrite where applicable and spare the legwork of going back...

 

Thank you.

The Compilations have several mods combined in them to help reduce the load for users. The difference in the Normal Res and High Res options is nothing more than texture resolution size. The normal res is the baseline recommendations for STEP (usually 1K for exterior mods and 2K for interior mods). The high res compilation has any mods with a higher texture resolution option available included, instead of the baseline resolution.

 

So to answer your question, you don't have to reinstall any other mods by upgrading the compilation; however, any mods that aren't compiled within the Compilation which have a higher resolution option will still need to be upgraded individually. These mods can quickly and easily be determined by scanning the Guide and looking for the flag in the "Quality Options" column. Any mod with that flag will have a higher resolution option than the STEP recommended option and can be downloaded and used instead.
