🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder and make sure the mod is activated in your load order (or use a mod manager for simplicity).
If you're using a mod manager like FOMM or Vortex, let it handle the installation to avoid overwriting conflicts with other texture mods.
Check if you have any other texture mods that affect the same DLC items — this mod is vanilla-friendly, but overlapping mods might cause visual glitches.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Community favorite with 828 endorsements and 146k downloads — clearly a go-to for DLC retextures
- Vanilla-friendly approach means it won't clash with other mods or the base game's look
- Covers all three categories (creatures, armors, weapons) in one package, so you get a complete overhaul
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2020 — might have compatibility issues with newer mods or game patches
- No detailed feature list or screenshots in the description, so you're flying blind on what exactly gets changed
- Only covers the Operation: Anchorage DLC, so if you want other DLCs retextured, you'll need separate mods
