Also i'd like to know where to download upgraded loading screens and skyboxes mods. The apposit thread has no links.... neither this one.

Hi Kenshir0, I'm sorry about the confusion. I checked my links and it turns out I've had the old, broken versions of the mods linked instead of the newest versions. I have no idea how I messed that up but thank you for pointing this out to me. Everything should be working fine now

Here's a new update for the OldGen+ mod. I noticed some of Lara's outfits had fingers that were missing fingernails and all of her belt buckles were actually lined up incorrectly so I've fixed those issues. I also discovered that in next-gen, some of Lara's outfits have really cool, unique belt buckles that match the themes of the outfits. In old-gen however, she has the same belt buckle for almost every outfit so I thought it would be better to use these unique belt buckles in old-gen.

Other random fixes that I've made include correcting the shading on her snowsuit outfit, swapping the incorrect plain white shirt on the goth outfit with the correct lace version, using even more higher quality textures that were found in the next-gen version (the 2 tapestries in Croft Manor are real tapestries, so I was able to make HQ versions of them from images online) and making some more texture alignment fixes.

Great! It's all warking now. Thank you for your good job and the new updated oldgen +. Thanks again

I see that invernal outfits have empty squares at the sides of the belt but only in the loading screens. Is this a base game bug or an oldgen + mod bug?

Hey again, thanks for your support

The empty squares on the belt are there because I had to remove that section of her belt in order to stop it clipping through her grapple. It’s fine when playing levels because the removed squares are hidden by her grapple and binoculars but in outfit selection, you’ll notice her gear doesn’t show up. That’s why you can see the removed squares. I thought this was fine because you only see it for a few seconds when selecting an outfit and it looks perfect outside of that

That's ok for me. I was only curious.

It's a great idea to import all the unique belt buckles into Old Gen and it almost feels like collectibles. Keep up the good work!

Hey thank you and nice to see you here again! I agree about the buckles. There’s actually a unique buckle in next gen for the sport outfits too but sadly in old gen she uses the same gear in the sports outfits as the shorts and crop top outfits so it can’t be changed. I’m still finding more and more cool things like this though, going through each level

Hi everyone, here's another new update for the OldGen+ mod. Some more random and miscellaneous fixes throughout the game including improved quality of the UI like her weapon aiming reticle, the blue checkpoint diamond and fixing some parts of the inventory square to be more centred.

Firstly, I have been able to create a much higher quality sword of Excalibur texture using concept art of it from the game. In Croft Manor, I found another higher quality texture for one of the portraits. This is the one of Kain from the Legacy of Kain in the main hall. In Peru, I discovered that the glowing orbs in the tomb section were using the incorrect coloured orbs. They're supposed to be purple so I've swapped them for the purple orb in the level files. In Japan, the 3 TVs in the party room had transparent holes in the back of them which glitched so you could see right through the TV to the other side. I found the texture that is supposed to be there filling the holes so I restored that.

There are also a few more fixes for the Japan party guests. I found higher quality version of the outfits in next gen for 4 of the guests. I also corrected the weird shading on one of the dress types.

Some comparison pictures:
