✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Small but noticeable improvement for visual purists
- No ESP means it won't bloat your load order
- Optional textures give you flexibility to match your setup
⚠️ Cons
- Niche appeal—only affects coal in shovels, not a major overhaul
- Last updated in 2022, so may not be tested with the latest Skyrim versions
- Requires High Poly Project for full consistency, which is an extra dependency
For Skyrim players who obsess over tiny details and want their shovels to look more realistic. If you're already using High Poly Project or similar texture mods, this is a natural fit. Skip if you're not bothered by 2D coal or prefer gameplay-changing mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since there's no ESP, you can safely install this mid-playthrough without issues.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to keep track of overwrites, especially if you have other texture mods.
- If you don't use High Poly Project, the mod still works but may look inconsistent with other objects.
