🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's a texture mod, you can install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder, but using a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Vortex makes it easier to uninstall.
Make sure you have Archive Invalidation enabled (or use a mod manager that handles it) to see the textures in-game.
If you're on PC, check if the mod requires any DLC — the description mentions RobCo fun tapes, which might be from a DLC, so ensure you have the right content.
