Submods won't be stickied if that is what you meant by "mod list."
Do you mean the link compilation thread?
Added to the compilation thread.

This is a project I've been working on for a long time. This pack changes the textures of Warband, nothing PoP related, except the banners. However, it is designed to be used with PoP. The outdoor environment and all the interior design have been upgraded, as well as mundane things like clothing, walls, all the ground textures, flora, weapons, effects, and so on, down to the gritty details. I made a new world map with more realistic colors and contrast, a banner pack that's a bit different, and a lot of sky variety. I was tired of how dated the base game looked and decided to fix everything I could to modernize it. The Warband engine definitely has its limits though. Overall I wanted everything to look like it fit together in a cohesive theme, with rich and vibrant colors, while maintaining realism. Read the read-me in the folders and copy/paste the files. If you need help feel free to ask. It shouldn't affect performance very much on decent computers. However, if you are able to, it is much better to uncheck "load textures on demand" in the warband options. This is a very large texture pack and it will run more smoothly this way.
Make sure you back up your folders, in case of error. For those that are just upgrading the pack, just add the texture folders, everything else remains the same.
I will update the pack roughly once a week.

Will this work for 3.8??
Not sure this would technically work, but I downloaded and compared the stuff from this submod before. There are a lot of identical textures from native, but 4 times larger, some identical textures but lower saturation and/or higher contrast. A few original textures or from other mods, but overall I would advice against it in its current state because of the lack of optimization and the little it brings visually. If someone wants to have less colors and more contrast, this mod should be reworked, but with current textures to be more coherent. The best thing about it is the banners, which would work but need to be renamed. Unfortunately, if you change banners, the back of heraldic armors will be the wrong color.

Well 3.8.2 will be coming out at some point, so he will prob wait for that. Does polished landscapes work for 3.8?
This hasn't been updated in 3 years. Not to mention that the DL link is probably broken so chances are you will not get what you are looking for. Especially for an older version.
Please do not necro threads.
Locked.
