🎯 Is This For You?

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture mod, make sure you have the game's texture quality set to high to see the 4K version properly.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting other texture mods.
- Try the 2K version if you experience any stuttering—it's nearly as good but lighter on VRAM.
