💡 Beginner Tips
- Drop the textures folder into your Skyrim Data directory, or use a mod manager for easy uninstall.
- Load order doesn't matter for texture-only mods, but if another mod overhauls bones, place Better Bones after it to ensure its textures win.
- Check the mod's files to see if it includes optional variants—some texture mods offer different dirt levels.
