💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Nexus Mods' Vortex, just download with the manager and it'll install automatically.
- If installing manually, drop the textures folder into your Fallout 4 Data directory and make sure it's enabled in your load order.
- This mod only changes textures, so it won't affect weapon stats—pair it with a weapon balance mod if you want gameplay changes.
