💡 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.
