💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since this is a texture mod, you can install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder, but using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 makes it easier to uninstall if needed.
  • If you're playing Skyrim Special Edition, check if the mod has an SE version or use a texture converter—many oldrim mods work with a simple conversion.
  • Load order doesn't matter much for texture-only mods, but placing it after other texture overhauls ensures it takes priority.
