- Community-approved with 2,204 endorsements and 148,300 downloads
- Lightweight and safe—just a texture replacer, no compatibility headaches
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2013—may not be optimized for newer Skyrim versions or mod setups

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no load order worries.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file conflicts to avoid overwriting other texture mods.
- Check if you have other texture mods that affect soul gems—this mod will overwrite them, so decide which you prefer.
