  • Only affects paper textures—if you want other texture overhauls, you'll need to grab more mods.
  • No screenshots or install instructions in the description, so you're flying blind until you try it.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, you may need to use a mod like Cathedral Assets Optimizer to convert the textures for the new engine.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install—it'll handle file overwrites automatically.
  • Load order doesn't matter for texture replacers, but make sure no other mod overwrites these files if you want the full effect.
