ELDEN RING POTATO MODE
🎮 **The ultimate solution to make your Elden Ring run smoother! **
✨ Latest updates
Hey! It's a bit late, but I've remade this mod for people who want it. I've lowered all terrain textures, including the new DLC content.
⚠️ **IMPORTANT NOTE**: I'm not sure if this has any impact on the game other than maybe loading faster. If there are technical experts who want to study in depth, you are welcome to try it!

🛠️ Production process
The making of this mod took me a few hours to unpack and repack the files (because I'm not very good at scripting 😅). If anyone tech savvy wants to recreate this mod themselves, I'll try to put the script in an optional download.
**Tools used:**
- Yabber
- UXM Selective Unpacker
- Cathedral Assets Optimizer
And some scripts cobbled together with the help of AI (don’t want to learn PowerShell or batch file syntax yet 😂). These scripts run fine on my Windows 10 system.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
