High-resolution 4K or 2K Hair and Beard textures for both character and NPCS.
Original texture files were mostly 1024 resolution. I have upscaled all of them to 4K and 2K resolution.
WARNING:
Some users report their textures breaking when they copy and paste the following. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you manually type the following. Double check it is correct after doing so.
Installation:
Extract the .ba2 files to your Starfield \Data folder. ex: C:\steamapps\common\Starfield\Data
Then go to your C:\Documents\My Games\Starfield and create a StarfieldCustom.ini and add if you don’t already have it

sResourceDataDirsFinal=
sResourceIndexFileList=Starfield – LODTextures.ba2, Starfield – Textures01.ba2, Starfield – Textures02.ba2, Starfield – Textures03.ba2, Starfield – Textures04.ba2, Starfield – Textures05.ba2, Starfield – Textures06.ba2, Starfield – Textures07.ba2, Starfield – Textures08.ba2, Starfield – Textures09.ba2, Starfield – Textures10.ba2, Starfield – Textures11.ba2, Starfield – TexturesPatch.ba2
and then add the following lines separated by a “,” TO THE VERY END OF THE LIST
sResourceIndexFileList=4K_Hair – Textures.ba2, 4K_Beards – Textures.ba2
After you add those to the list it should look like this. It needs to look exactly like this or it will not work.
sResourceIndexFileList=Starfield – LODTextures.ba2, Starfield – Textures01.ba2, Starfield – Textures02.ba2, Starfield – Textures03.ba2, Starfield – Textures04.ba2, Starfield – Textures05.ba2, Starfield – Textures06.ba2, Starfield – Textures07.ba2, Starfield – Textures08.ba2, Starfield – Textures09.ba2, Starfield – Textures10.ba2, Starfield – Textures11.ba2, Starfield – TexturesPatch.ba2, 4K_Hair – Textures.ba2, 4K_Beards – Textures.ba2
NOTE:
Not working with gamepass version as of now. The loose files work, but it would be about 25gb of loose files that would go into your documents folder. So I won’t upload those.
Usage:
These mods are not for potato PC’s as your VRAM usage will go up. I recommend to have at least 10gb of VRAM. But I have not tested on older GPUs.
I will be releasing many more upscaled texture mods. There are lots of textures in the game that are so low quality that its a joke they were even shipped with the game. Obviously the textures were optimized for console, and they didn’t bother to change it for the PC port.
