🎯 Tips & Tricks
Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to easily install and manage the texture replacer, and to avoid overwriting other mods.
If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod needs to be converted or if there's an unofficial patch – the original was made for Oldrim.
Load order matters: place this mod after other texture mods to ensure it takes priority, but before any mods that change the same armor's mesh.
