💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager — no need to worry about load order.
  • If you use ENB or weather mods, test in a dusty area like Bleak Falls Barrow to see the effect.
  • Make sure to run LOOT or sort your mods if you have other texture mods to avoid conflicts.
