VANILLA PLANETS HD

A VANILLA-FAITHFUL ENVIRONMENTAL TEXTURE OVERHAUL

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

OVERVIEW
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Vanilla Planets HD is an environmental texture upscale for Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II — The Sith Lords.

The mod upscales the game’s planet, area, environmental, screen, display, and panel textures using Topaz Gigapixel at up to four times their original resolution.

The goal is to keep KOTOR II as close to its original visual style as possible while making the textures cleaner, sharper, and more detailed.

I created this mod because I wanted an HD environmental overhaul that preserved the original materials without making surfaces excessively reflective or glossy.

There are no ReShade presets, lighting edits, shader changes, or major visual redesigns.

SKYBOXES AND BACKDROPS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Vanilla Planets HD does not replace the game’s major skyboxes, distant backdrops, or cockpit window views.

These assets were intentionally left untouched because Kexikus has already created excellent high-resolution mods covering them.

The following mods are highly recommended:

High Quality Skyboxes II

TSL Backdrop Improvements

TSL HD Cockpit Skyboxes

COMPATIBILITY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Vanilla Planets HD is compatible with most gameplay, character, interface, bug-fix, and audio mods.

Conflicts may occur with other planet or environmental texture overhauls that replace the same files.

When two mods contain textures with the same filename, the files installed last will take priority.
