💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the mod files in your Dragon Age: Origins override folder (usually Documents/BioWare/Dragon Age/packages/core/override) to ensure they load correctly.
- If you're using the Ultimate Edition, the mod should still work, but test it early to avoid conflicts with other texture mods.
- Since the mod is old, consider using a mod manager like DAO Modmanager to keep track of your installed mods and avoid overwriting issues.
