✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive community approval with 13,409 endorsements
- Huge download count of 284,677 shows widespread use
- Simple visual upgrade that makes flora noticeably sharper
⚠️ Cons

- Higher resolution textures can increase VRAM usage and cause frame drops on older GPUs
