- Performance-friendly: 512-resolution parallax maps keep FPS hit minimal

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install; load order rarely matters for texture mods, but place it after major overhauls.
- For best parallax effect, pair with a lighting mod like ELFX or Relighting Skyrim to enhance shadows and depth.
- If you notice seams or weird textures, try disabling any other dungeon texture mods to avoid conflicts.
