💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a retexture, just drop the files into your Oblivion Data folder and enable the mod in your launcher.
- If you use a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash, install it through that to keep your load order clean.
- Make sure you have the Shivering Isles expansion installed, as the Madness armor is from that DLC.
