📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,313 endorsements and over 32k downloads
- Adds crisp detail to common items you see constantly
- Includes normal maps for better depth without performance hit
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013 — may not be optimized for newer game versions or DLC

💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the texture files in your Data folder and enable the mod in your launcher's load order.
