⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing without checking requirements

👍 Pros

Huge download count (417k) shows it's a go-to for book retextures.
Simple cosmetic mod—no gameplay changes, just better-looking books.
Still relevant for modded playthroughs despite the 2021 update.

👎 Cons

Only affects books—if you want more comprehensive texture overhauls, this is too niche.
No detailed description of what the textures look like, so you're flying blind.
Last updated in 2021, so it might not be tested with the latest mod setups.
