🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since this mod only affects stock textures, make sure you don't have any other texture mods overwriting the same files—load order matters if you use a mod manager.
If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let this mod load after other texture mods to ensure its changes take effect.
Check the mod's file structure to see if it's a simple drop-in or needs manual placement; usually it's just overwriting the texture files.
🔧 Troubleshooting
Mod conflicts
Check load order. Disable conflicting mods one by one.
