💡 Beginner Tips
- Install manually by dropping the textures folder into your Fallout 4 Data directory, or use a mod manager like Nexus Mods' Vortex for easier management.

- Check the mod's comments section for any user reports about compatibility with other UI mods, as conflicts can occur if another mod also edits map icons.
