🎯 Tips & Tricks
Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to handle installation and load order—this mod likely has multiple files.
Check the mod's forum posts or comments for user-reported compatibility with other visual mods, since the description doesn't cover it.
If you experience crashes, try disabling other visual mods first to isolate conflicts.
