🎯 Tips & Tricks
Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to handle the file structure—it's the safest way to avoid overwriting vanilla textures.
If you're playing Tale of Two Wastelands, make sure to install the mod after TTW's own texture packs to ensure PAVE takes priority.
Check the mod's forum posts for any compatibility notes with other texture overhauls like NMC's Texture Pack.
