🎯 Tips & Tricks
Install manually by dropping the textures folder into your Fallout 4 Data directory, or use a mod manager like Nexus Mods' Vortex for easier management.
Since this mod only replaces textures, it's safe to install mid-playthrough—no need to start a new game.
Check the mod's comments section for any user reports about compatibility with other UI mods, as conflicts can occur if another mod also edits map icons.
