🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's a texture mod, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2.
If you have Far Harbor, make sure to install the Far Harbor version too, otherwise those fish will stay vanilla.
Check your load order — texture mods usually work fine anywhere, but placing it after other environment overhauls can prevent conflicts.
