⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust (1,529 endorsements) — clearly does the job well.
- Lightweight repaint won't hurt performance, even on modest rigs.
- Simple and effective — no complex install or dependencies.
👎 Cons
- Not a high-res overhaul — if you want crisp 4K scales, this isn't it.
- Last updated in 2016 — might not be tested with the latest Skyrim versions.
- Only affects Durnehviir — don't expect changes to other dragons.
