Need For Speed: Most Wanted HD Texture Mod
When I recently reinstalled NFS: Most Wanted, I wondered if the game can look more visually appealing.
Here is a Video after modifications:
The first thing I discovered is the “NFSMW Resolution Changer“, a small utility that allows setting any custom resolution of the game (originally maximum resolution was 1280×1024, no widescreen support).
The resolution was a big improvement for the game, but the original textures looked stretched and blurry on the HD screen. Fortunately, user “FDen” did a great retexturing work and improved the resolution of many textures in the game, so it looks awesome in HD now. The mod is called “Modern Rockport“. To use it, you will need a DirectX texture replacement utility – Texmod.
To combine both these methods of improving the game’s graphics you need to run them both as follows:
1. Run the nfsmwres.exe resolution changer.
2. Run Texmod.exe (“Package mode”)
3. Choose “speed.exe” by clicking on the folder button on the top.
4. Press the small Folder button in the middle and select “Modern Rockport 1.0.tpf” file
5. Run the game by pressing the “Run” button in Texmod.
Here is how you run the game:
That way, the game will use new textures and HD resolution.
