💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since this mod only replaces textures, you can install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder, but using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 makes it easier to uninstall.
  • If you're using other texture mods, load order matters: place this mod after other landscape overhauls to ensure its textures take priority.
  • Check if your Skyrim version is compatible — this mod is from 2012, so it may not work with Special Edition or Anniversary Edition without conversion.
