- Flexible resolution choices let you balance visual quality and performance.

🎯 Is This For You?

💡 Beginner Tips
- Pick the 2K version if you're on a mid-range PC—4K can hit performance in dense areas.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install and manage the files easily.
- Since it's a texture replacer, load order doesn't matter much, but place it after any mods that change thistle meshes.
