About this mod

Time for Valheim to look AAA! Skål!

THIS MOD IS NO LONGER UNDER DEVELOPMENT FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

Time constraints, life, and other reasons have made it difficult to keep this mod updated. If you would like to continue or update this project, please reach out to us first. Otherwise, there are plenty of other HD Texture packs on the Nexus for you to enjoy.

Thank you for your support :)






The aim of HD Valheim is to replace all of Valheim's textures and meshes with my own, original HD assets.
They will be hand-crafted, each carefully completed. The end result will look like a AAA game.

In other words: less Minecraft, more Skyrim.





For now, all of the textures are upscaled x4 and packaged into .assets files. The reason for this is twofold: faster load times, and the ability to override my assets via the Custom Meshes/Textures/etc. mods by the esteemed 
aedenthorn.

Please provide bugs and glitches in the bugs section.
If someone has already posted a bug, please don't repost it.
This mod is a work in progress, and I will continuously update it.

I repeat, this mod is a work in progress. There will be graphical glitches, and I will patch them as soon as possible.

Thanks for your patience!

Yes. Install my mod first, then whichever mod that you want made by aedenthorn.


My game keeps crashing!
Spoiler:  
Show
Each update of this mod is tailored for the latest version of Valheim. Make sure your game is up to date; note, updating your game will overwrite the .assets files. If the problem persists, try to download the mod again. Sometimes large files can get corrupted while downloading. If that doesn't work, try my MediaFire mirror. If that doesn't work, please wait for me to update the mod.


I can't install this on my dedicated server!

Spoiler:  
Show
Think of this as an old-fashioned Minecraft server. Don't make this mod a dependency for the server. Instead, allow users to choose whichever texture/graphics mods they like.



Grass and flora keep popping into view!
Spoiler:

This issue was always present, even in the base game. My grasses make it more apparent, however. Download Graphics Config Plus and Grass Tweaks. Tweak those settings to resolve the issue. Otherwise, download my config files.



How do I install the Player Voices addon?
Spoiler:

This is simply an immersive integration of grunt noises into base recordings. Please download Custom Audio by aedenthorn, and then install this addon.


How do I install the ReShade preset?

Spoiler:

ReShade is a powerful post processing FX injector. It works for a variety of games, and Valheim is no different. Please download ReShade from their website, and follow this tutorial to install it for Valheim.
