Sonic X Shadow Generations (PC) - Switch Terrain Mod Overview

Mod download: https://www.nexusmods.com/sonicxshado... As the mod's name suggests, it's basically one that ports over the terrain from the Switch port of the game. As such, terrain models are lower-poly, textures are lower-res, and post-processing is pared back. It was largely made in order to help performance on lower-end machines, or handheld computers like the Steam Deck or ROG Ally. It's more or less a straight port, though a few things did have to be changed. The textures had to be run through Skyth's NeedleTextureStreamingPackage tool so they would display properly here (the NTSP files are actually different across each platform, and if I didn't run them through the tool they'd have a broken look) All of the CEMT files had to be brought over from the PC version as well, as using the Switch version's CEMT files as-is resulted in the game crashing. Which is odd, as prior games the CEMT files are cross-platform compatible. Besides that, I haven't noticed much (if any) difference between the two versions' CEMT files at all as far as visuals go.
