💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture-only mod, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager — no load order worries.
- If you use other face texture mods, this one will overwrite or be overwritten depending on install order; place it after other face mods to ensure its textures show.
- Check if your Skyrim version is compatible — this mod is from 2013, so if you're on Special Edition, you may need to convert the textures.
