🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's an older mod, check if your Skyrim version is compatible—if you're on Special Edition, you might need to convert the textures.
Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and easily uninstall if you don't like the look.
Pair with other texture mods for a cohesive overhaul, but test load order to avoid conflicts.
