A couple of new Starfield mods that are available for download introduce significant visual improvements for NPC and architectural textures.
Given how NPC generally don't look great in Bethesda's latest open-world role-playing game, the Retina-Photorealistic Eyes Overhaul is extremely welcome, as it replaces the game's eyes with real-life, accurate photorealistic eyes that significantly improve how NPCs look. The new textures are available in multiple resolutions, and they look amazing even in their performance version, which is better suited for 1080p resolution.
Starfield environmental textures also leave something to be desired, and it is something that multiple modders tried to fix with high-resolution texture packs. The Architecture Surfaces Redone texture pack, created by XilaMonstrr, the same developer behind some high-quality Cyberpunk 2077 texture packs, introduces 4K and 2K resolution architectural textures, which have been upscaled using chaiNNer and AI-generated ESRGAN models with full mipmaps.
