🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's a simple replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no load order worries.
If you're using other visual mods that touch alteration effects, test for conflicts—this mod is old, so newer mods might override it.
Check the mod's comments for any compatibility patches if you're running a big mod list.
🔧 Troubleshooting
Mod conflicts
Check load order. Disable conflicting mods one by one.
