⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing without checking requirements
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust: 6,750 endorsements and 2.3 million downloads
- Makes Barbas stand out from regular dogs, fitting his Daedric nature
- Lightweight and safe—just a texture replacer, no plugin conflicts
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2018, so it may not be tested with the latest Skyrim versions (though textures usually remain compatible)
- Only changes Barbas's appearance—no other dog breeds or creatures affected
- Glowing eyes might not fit everyone's visual style or lore interpretation
