💡 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.
