⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing without checking requirements
👍 Pros
- Huge community backing (23.5k endorsements, 3.3M downloads) — this is a must-have for texture enthusiasts
- Fills a niche that most overhauls ignore: the small stuff like quest rewards and clutter
- Actively maintained (updated May 2024) so it's likely compatible with current Skyrim versions
👎 Cons
- Description is vague — no list of specific items or textures included, so you're flying blind until you install
- No install instructions or compatibility notes provided, which could trip up modding newcomers
- Requires a large landscape overhaul to get the full effect — if you don't use one, some changes might feel out of place
