🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Oblivion Data folder and overwrite when prompted.
If you use a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash, you can install it as a package for easy removal.
Check if you have any other mods that alter Akatosh's textures—they might conflict, so load order matters.
