🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—it will handle the file placement automatically.
To see parallax effects, make sure your ENB or ReShade preset has parallax enabled; otherwise, the mod still works but without the depth effect.
Load order doesn't matter much for mesh replacers, but placing it after other Windhelm overhauls ensures it takes priority.
