Ever install one cute outfit and discover it brought enough oversized textures to fill a small moon?
AetherPress keeps an eye on new Penumbra installs and offers to slim down their textures before they start eating your drive space and VRAM. Pick a Quality, Balanced, or Maximum Savings preset—or fine-tune base, normal, and mask textures yourself.
It supports smart texture formats, adaptive resolution, optional skin-texture protection, and automatic optimization if you’re feeling brave. By default, it asks before touching anything.
Use /aetherpress to open the settings.
AetherPress modifies textures inside the Penumbra mod folder, so keep backups of anything you may want to restore later.
