⚠️ Cons

- No before/after screenshots or detailed description, so you're flying blind on the visual change
- 4K textures might be overkill for lower-end systems, could cause performance hits

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a mesh and texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager – no special setup needed.
- If you're on a lower-end PC, consider using a 2K texture version if available to avoid performance drops.
- Make sure you have the base game hat – this mod replaces the existing one, so it won't add a new item.
