The duplicated grass looks weird but the last screenshot looks great.

Textures:
-The most important feature in grading the graphics of a game.
-Have roughly no performance impact(5fps hit for 4k textures)

Now if only we could get over this file size issue.

Truth be told, there is a high performance hit if your GPU's vRAM is not up to support them. But yeah, it would be nice if we were getting better textures in our games

Eh, I havent seen Vram as a bottleneck for years. I would say that anything non integrated, stamped with that shiny DX11 seal of approval will have Vram that outclasses the actual graphics processor by 2 GPU generations.

Props to the modder for the effort.
But why do everything CE3 fail to impress me?

Ive seen a lot better things running of CE2.
Come on this is BS... isnt technology supposed to progress FORWARDS?
