🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder and make sure it's enabled in your load order or mod manager.
If you're using a mod manager like FOMM or Nexus Mod Manager, install it through that to keep things tidy and easy to uninstall.
Back up your original textures if you want to revert — though you can always re-download the mod if needed.
