💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since the mod is from 2011, check if your Skyrim version is compatible — if you're on Special Edition, you may need to port it or find an updated alternative.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and easily disable if issues arise.
  • If you use other race overhaul mods, load this one after them to ensure its textures take priority.
