🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager — no load order worries.
If you're on a lower-end PC, grab the 1024x1024 version to keep performance smooth.
Pair it with a lighting overhaul like ELFX or Realistic Lighting for the best visual impact.
