💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use the Fomod installer to pick only the texture options you want — it's more straightforward than BAIN if you're new.
  • Run BOSS or LOOT after installing to ensure proper load order, especially if you have other texture mods.
  • Check if your other mods overwrite soul gem textures; if so, place this mod lower in your load order to keep its effects.
