🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Vortex.
Make sure to load this mod after any other mods that might alter book textures to ensure it takes priority.
If you're using the game's built-in mod support, you can also install via the in-game mod menu if available.
