Legacy Reborn aims to overhaul all landscape (and more) textures across both Fallout 3 and New Vegas, while retaining their vanilla essence. What exactly does this mean? Many texture packs like to make radically large visual differences, and while this isn't necessarily bad I find that the soul of Fallout 3 and New Vegas can get lost in all the new visuals. Legacy Reborns mission statement is simple: Keep the essence of vanilla, but in a modern quality standard. Almost all textures share a similar visual profile to their vanilla counterparts, with some exceptions being made for textures and objects that were already visually ambiguous in the base game. The core of this texture pack revolves around landscape textures, however a few extra goodies have been thrown in out of an urge to create them, such as concrete quads, roads, and some architecture pieces. Oh, and did I mention this mod covers all DLC? All new-worlds DLC across both Fallout 3 and New Vegas are covered by this pack, meaning every square inch of your game should receive a graphical update.
Q: Does this work with TTW? Can I use this with JUST New Vegas, or JUST Fallout 3?
A: Yes, this mod was designed about being out-of-the box compatible with TTW, meaning it covers all applicable Fallout 3 textures.
Q: What resolution is the pack in? Which should I download?
A: The pack is standardized to 1K for most textures, utilizing 2K for larger objects or texture atlases. The high quality version is also available at a 2K/4K combo for those who wish to use that.
Q: What's the compatibility of this mod? Does it need any patches?
A: Will conflict with anything also replacing the textures, however as always users can organize their load order to decide what should overwrite what.
Q: What's the hit to performance? Is there a frame rate drop?
A: Textures are a bit larger than vanilla and compressed in DXT5 to ensure reasonable size, performance, and quality. This means on most system there should be little to no performance hit, however as always this depends on user-hardware.
Q: Is this landscapes exclusive? Can you retexture 'x' object?
A: This mod started out with landscapes as the main focus, but as work was done on it the mod was expanded to include some other game assets. In the future I may expand upon non-landscape related assets, however there's no promises.

This mod contains high quality assets. They are at a higher resolution and less of a compression than the base game. This WILL cause instability and crashes if your game isn't utilizing advancements made by the community such as:
4GB Patch - Patching EXE to be 4GB aware
Tick Fix - "bModifyDirectXBehavior=0" > "bModifyDirectXBehavio =1"
- "iReplaceTextureCreationLocks=0" > "iReplaceTextureCreationLocks=2"
If you're not using these, reports of crashes and instability will not be entertained.
Requirements
Legacy Reborn - Standard
Main file, optimized for regular gameplay.
Legacy Reborn - High Quality
