📋 About This Mod

A brief tutorial on basic Nifskope use regarding Skyrim, and implementing texture transparency in meshes that previously did not possess it. I wrote this because having such a resource at hand would\'ve saved me a lot of time spent doing research, asking a few people weird and probably poorly-phrased questions, and beating my head against a brick wall. Enclosed is an image-heavy PDF with, hopefully, very clear and useful instructions!
