To install:
Copy the esp file to Steam/steamapps/common/Fallout 4/Data folder, reload the game being sure the esp is active.
For the LooksMenu preset, please install into Fallout4/Data/F4SE/Plugins/F4EE/Presets
Activate the esp through your mod manager or manually add it to the plugins.txt file. I would sort it to come after these other mods to guarantee the conversion is successful.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a simple replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager.
- Check if you have any other mods that alter Maxson's appearance — they might conflict, so load order matters.
- If you're on PC, make sure to enable mods in your Fallout 4 settings (or use the mod manager's launch option).
