💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a model replacer, make sure to place the files in the correct game directory (e.g., Data folder) or use a mod manager if available.
- Check if the mod requires the original Darksun Shield to be obtained in-game first – it only changes the appearance, not the item's availability.
- If you're using other mods that alter the same shield, load order might matter – put this one last to ensure it takes effect.
