Can I use both texture shrinking utilities to ttw?

'Run SMCO @ http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/13529/?

Then run Optimizer Textures @ http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/46074/?'

---Quote from NV nexus user "isiah Carren"---

We do understand that latter works well if we run it as admin privilege and not optimizing bsa's.

But can using two tex shrinking tool make tex so much less demanding?

Just increase the settings in optimizer textures. It'll allow you to shrink things like 8x if that's what you want.

What TJ stated.

If you are using JIP's Realistic Weapon Overheating, you will need to reload after using Optimizer Textures. At least in my experience, Optimizer distorts the heating gauge after I use it until I reinstall it.

My comp frequently freezes even though I gave Optimizer admin privilege and run it via MO, and it became very warm after freezing......(tries to handle every dds file, was even more warm than when I cleared some AWOP zones) it made me think about using DDS Opt or SMCO. Currently I use both smco and optimizer, not sure how batch files of dds opt work. With Optimizer textures, I optimize each several large folders such Weapons of the new Millenia, TTW Book of steel, T49 Colossus, MMM.... and I use SMCO to optimize entire NV directory.

@Keltec- I do not use weapon overheating yet, Cirosan's classic overhaul seems enough for me. Thank you for info tho ;) Afaik both smco and optimizer do not mess up armor tex.....

Edit- My bad, I should never have used SMCO for NV, it even cuts meshes and entire tex.....

And quite many people experienced comp freezing while using optimizer like me

Their advise was "do not use ordeanor via MO....."
