📋 About This Mod
Big disclaimer note here: as of the latest update of CSSET this description isn't quite accurate. I'll come back and fix it after I'm finished with my other obligations, promise.
I consider CSSET by Kartoffels to be just as essential a mod as SMIM, but it does presently have a couple of issues. In most cases users don't notice them as they use retextures or mods that might remove the meshes using those textures entirely. I have run decompression upscalers on the associated textures to clean them and saved them with the proper alphas. If other issues come up I will add to this mod.
More pictures coming soon™ in order to show the differences with new updates.
