Extracting Textures From Fallout 4
When you play any of the Bethesda games, you will notice that there are two types of archives in use. One is the regular BSA archive, which is used for the main installation of the game, while the other is the Bethesda Archive Extractor which is useful for editing existing game data and for extracting new data from existing archive files. The Bethesda Game Installers manual explains that the archive extractor is able to handle three different types of archives, which are Unique Content, Plug-ins and Maps. The reason why these three types of archives are chosen is because they all come from different content and all have a specific use. For instance, the Unique Content archive is created by habit and is used to compress textures, meshes and other data and features that do not change too much from original versions, while the plugins archive extractors extract meshes and textures from unused data to make them compatible with the main version.
The main advantages of using the Bethesda Archive Extractor are that they work fine with all versions of the games while they also work fine without modifications. The tool is simple to use and it does not take up much memory space while simultaneously extracting all textures and meshes from your game. You will be able to use the same tool to extract any type of mod from any version of fallout 4. All you need to know how to do is to open the archive, locate the extracted data, select a tool that matches the type of mod you want to remove and then use the right click menu to add it to the list.
As mentioned earlier, habit is the main creator of the Bethesda Archive Extractor while at the same time providing instructions on how to use the tool. Habit has made the archive tool easy to use while at the same time providing advanced features. This means that there is no need to be an expert to extract textures, meshes and other textures from fallout 4. Hexabit has also included instructions on how to backup and restore the game, which is very helpful. If you are still having trouble extracting or creating textures from your fallout 4, then I strongly recommend that you try out habit’s excellent texture archives.
