🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's a texture mod, you can install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder, but using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 makes it easier to manage.
If you use other fire mods, load Embers HD after them to ensure its textures take priority.
Check if your Skyrim version is up-to-date – the mod was last updated in 2018, so it might need a compatibility patch for newer versions.
