🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since this replaces LOD files, make sure to place it after any other mods that affect LODs in your load order to avoid conflicts.
If you're using a mod manager, install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder, as it's a simple replacer.
Check if your Skyrim version is the original or Special Edition — this mod is from 2012, so it's likely for the original, and may need conversion for SE.
