Forcing Better Graphics in Game?

[MANOFKRYPTONAK]

I was wondering how to force games to "look" better? I am playing SWTOR I like it, right now through the nvidia control panel I have FXAA and 16xAA enabled. It looks a lot better with these settings IMHO. What I was wondering is how can I make it look better? I have heard of mods but have never used one. Where would one find game mods online and are there mods for SWTOR? My GPU runs SWTOR at 111 FPS with everything on max even trees at 100% with FXAA and 16xAA enabled, I want the game to look much better. Thanks in advanced everyone!

There is nothing else you can do to improve the graphics on swtor. it is an MMO and is not designed to have graphics as a priority for a number of reasons. The game engine also severly limits the graphics. You cannot mod it, it is an mmo and if mods were allowed there would be cheating. The high Res textures do not work due to the engine. its remotely possible bioware will release a texture pack eventually but very unlikely.

Yes what unksol saying was true, SWTOR and other MMO games are not designed for extreme graphics, and therefore that's your max, hope you OP understand.

Yeah but I can see a difference in the game by turning on FXAA and enabling 16xAA through the nvidia control panel and all that Jazz I heard 1.2 is due out in a couple weeks from a friend today. What do you think?

if you can find mods that improve the graphics, go ahead and install them .

You can tweak the game_settings.ini file if you want.
