Modder ‘FartPluser’ has released a new HD Texture Pack for Thief 2014. This mod uses AI techniques to upscale and enhance around 3,438 textures. As such, it’s a must-have for everyone who wants to replay it.
Going into more details, the mod includes two separate mods. The first one is the HD Textures Pack. The second is the HD Grass Mod. This mod enhances the textures for leaves and select grass scatter assets. You can use both of them, and I highly recommend doing so.
Sadly, the modder did not provide a lot of comparison screenshots. We have one in which you can clearly spot the improved textures.
It’s also worth noting that the mod is only 4GB in size. As such, you won’t have to download a big pack like those we’ve shared for other titles. It should also work even on GPUs with 8GB of VRAM.
You can go ahead and download the mod from this link. Make sure to also read its installation guide. From what I can see, you need to follow specific steps.
You can also find AI-enhanced texture packs for many more games, like Far Cry 3, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Blood 2, Dark Souls 2, FEAR, and Batman: Arkham Asylum have also received their own. And then we have those for Resident Evil: Revelations, Revelations 2, Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30, Resident Evil 7, and Tomb Raider: Legend. Let’s also not forget this one for Palworld.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

Thief 2014 is free for Amazon Prime subscribers right now. Sadly, I have come to terms with stealth games not being for me.
Thats a worthless hollow, capitalistic gesture from Amazon, as usual.
This game is worth peanuts, and can be bought DRM free on gog for £3 and the other 3 thief games for £0.89 each ( https://www.gog.com/en/games?query=thief&order=desc:score )
Wish there was a mod to make the game good.
No need. Just download the Dark Mod + ALL maps + TDM Modpack.
You'll have the best Thief experience ever, even better than Thief 2.
The black parade mod for Thief 1 spoiled me, how can i encounter another stealth game with such high quality? Played some levels in Thief 3 and it looks so amateurish lol, at least the ragdolls are funny to mess around.
Always good to see older games getting better.
Thief 2014 is a glorious 7/10.
If you have played the previous games you will then know how bad Thi4f actually is.
It's definitely not as abysmal as what people say though.
When I played it, I expected such a massive turd judging from the reviews that I was actually pleasantly surprised.
But yes, it doesn't even come close to Thief 1-2 or the Dark Mod.
I would give it a 6/10 at best.
It's really a shame. They just had to repeat that they did with DE:HR, and it would have been great.
Human Revolution is of the same quality, i could only stomach it for a single playthrough.
The reviews were because compared to the previous 3 games, or more importantly the first 2, T4 failed abysmally on so many counts.
– Not having Stephen Russel as Garrett – this was a massive fail.
– no level editor – even T3 has a bloody level editor, and fans have been trying to fix the sh1tty movement mechanics.
– poor level design from a climbing, jumping,accessibility pov, sh!te level load animations that were often and frequent – not being to drop down from a simple ledge feet off the ground was easily one of the most annoying mechanics, even T3 did do this.
– poor story and story pacing.
– was way too short.
I could go on, but I will end by saying if you want a game with comparable gfx to T3/4 but with the mechanics of t1/2 then go lookup The Darkmod (www.thedarkmod.com)
I did, 1 and 3. Thief 2014 is the least good Thief, but I enjoyed it.
DON'T…!
I see the Thief name and i get a heart attack!
Yeah, idk who will care about this for this game, and it doesn't even make that much of a difference to bother…
For the reason that the admin of this site is working, no uncertainty very quickly it will be renowned, due to its quality contents.
"you can clearly spot the improved textures"
extravagantly clear differences
One would expect that with Raytracing now being more broadly adopted and used, Thief would be amongst the games that would be released/rebooted using it since it makes way more sense than other games that are "shinning away" with no reason.
While I applaud the modder who make the pack, they would have been better off making new textures for The Darkmod – https://www.thedarkmod.com/main/ .
Miss the old thief games…. where dev skills made the difference in gameplay!
Picked this one on Epic giveaway but i'm yet to try it out. The black parade mod for Thief 1 spoiled me, how can i encounter another stealth game with such high quality? Played some levels in Thief 3 and it looks so amateurish lol, at least the ragdolls are funny to mess around.
It should work with 4 GB of VRAM since it is a 32 bit game and can't really handle more
I guess I'm going to find out because the Definitive Edition is available via GOG on Prime Gaming for free
