🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since this is a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Fallout 3 Data folder – no mod manager needed, but using one like FOMM makes uninstalling easier.
If you use other texture mods, load this one after them to ensure it takes priority.
Make sure to check the file structure – if it includes a .esp, you'll need to activate it in your load order, but most retextures are just textures.
