  • If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod needs conversion—oldrim textures often work but may require manual porting.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage this texture replacer easily.
  • Load order doesn't matter much for texture mods, but place it after any mods that alter cave meshes to ensure textures apply.
