💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture replacement, make sure to place the files in the correct Mods folder (e.g., %AppData%/7DaysToDie/Mods) or use a mod manager like 7D2D Mod Launcher.
- If you're playing on a server, all players need the mod installed to see the changes consistently.
- Check the mod's page for any updates after game patches—texture mods can break if the game's asset paths change.
