⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing without checking requirements

👍 Pros

Massive community trust (28,200 endorsements) — this is a must-have for visual overhauls
Huge download count (3.9M) proves it's stable and widely used
Makes mining actually satisfying — every ore looks distinct, no more copy-paste textures

👎 Cons

Purely cosmetic — if you want gameplay changes, this won't add anything
No explicit compatibility notes — might conflict with other texture overhauls if not load-ordered properly
Last updated April 2026 — could break with future Skyrim updates, though unlikely for textures
