🎯 Tips & Tricks
Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage this mod easily.
Place this mod early in your load order (after the official DLCs) to ensure other mods don't overwrite it.
Check if you have other flora mods that might conflict — if so, let this one load after them for the flower textures.
