📋 About This Mod
Three versions to chose from:
Version 2. 0: this is more shiny and has a bit more details than v2. 1. Looks a bit more "interesting" than 2. 1...
Version 2. 1: This is close to a 1:1 copy of the original textures, just much higher quality and better detailing.
Version 2. 2 4K. This version looks the best, by far, imo, it has the most details, it resembles the original. It's what you want, but you'll be the judge ;)
