Dedicated AV Packages
I was the first modder that jumped on the bandwagon when Leviathan1753 released the first version for Automatic Variants and started making packages specifically for AV. I always make sure there’s “balanced variety” in my packages, which means that
there is lots of variety while not being excessive. So you will not see bright red giants or green Falmers running around for example. Each package contains a separate readme with detailed information.
How to use StarX AV Packages
You will need Automatic Variants first
1. Extract this archive to any folder and then copy the SkyProc Patchers folder to your Data folder.
2. Run Automatic Variants to make the textures show up in your game.
There’s a specific readme included in each package, so make sure you read it!
Screenshots welcome
As my gaming time is limited at the moment I don’t have a lot of ingame screenshots, so user screenshots are very welcome!
Lore
I have tried to make the variants as lore friendly as possible, though I took some creative liberty and changed some appearances. This may upset some people, but hey: it’s modular so you don’t need to use each and every package.
Credits and permission
All textures done by StarX, based on Bethesda’s High Res Texture pack. Please ask for my permission if you want to use these textures in your own project.
Thanks
