🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since this mod is from 2008, consider using a mod manager like Oblivion Mod Manager (OBMM) or Wrye Bash to ensure proper installation and easy removal.
If you use other mods that alter soulgem textures, load this one after them so its changes take priority.
Check the mod's file structure after download—if it's just a texture replacer, you can manually drop the files into your Data folder, but a mod manager is safer.
