🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since this mod only affects vanilla creatures, make sure you don't have other mods that replace the same animal meshes or textures, or they may conflict.
Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to easily install and uninstall, and to manage load order if you have other texture mods.
Check the mod's posts section on Nexus for any user-reported compatibility issues with specific creature mods or game versions.
