- Works for Fallout 3 purists who want a quick visual boost without overhauling the whole game

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder and enable the mod in your launcher – no FOSE needed.
- If you use a mod manager like Nexus Mods' Vortex, install it there for easy management and removal.
- Check for conflicts with other texture mods that alter the same files – load order matters if you stack multiple visual mods.
