As far as I'm aware, these are the cleanest upscales on Nexus Mods. Most, if not all other upscale projects are older and used either the original LE textures for the upscale (which is half the resolution as a base) or the upscaled textures from SE which had a lot of artifacts. Also, older upscale methods are far less sophisticated and accurate. I used the BSRGANx2 model by cszn for these, using PyTorch upscaling.
Be sure to load this mod before any conflicting mods, so that the other mods files get loaded over these ones, and the proper textures are used for those mods assets. (Except for things such as SMIM and USSEP files, for example)
All files are in BC7 Max format. Normal maps are not upscaled, because upscaling them has proven to be extremely difficult to get accurate even with dedicated normal map upscalers, and they provide basically no visual difference at the cost of install space and VRAM.
I chose to not pack this as a BSA so that it can be loaded after things mentioned above, and also to prevent install folder bloat, since some, if not many of these textures will probably be overwritten by other mods you utilize.
