<!-- Oversized Textures -->
<p>
<strong>Oversized textures</strong>
<br>
Based on the object size and how the texture is wrapped around it, you should pick textures with a reasonable resolution and avoid the very big ones also based on your display resolution. Keep in mind that the textures will not be displayed with their full resolution at all times, in fact they will be scaled down because of <a href="https://imgsli.com/MTMwNjU2" target="" _blank>mipmaps</a> based on distance and other factors, as shown with these sliders. Just for reference, a maximum of 2K at 1080p is a pretty safe bet in terms of balance.
</p>

<!-- AI Upscales -->
<p>
<strong>AI-upscaled texture packs</strong>
<br>
Mods upscaled with AI or other lazy techniques generally are not worth the higher VRAM usage.
</p>

<!-- Timescale -->
<p>
<strong>Any mods that edit timescale</strong>
<br>
Vanilla AI packages and scripts are based on the vanilla timescale, and can break and/or run when they aren't supposed to if the timescale is changed.
