✨ Key Features

4K retexture of the deer skull and antlers
Optional 2K mounted antlers variant

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Huge community adoption (2.0M downloads, 1,810 endorsements) — clearly a go-to for texture upgrades
  • Gives the deer skull and antlers a crisp 4K facelift, making them pop in interiors
  • Optional 2K mounted antlers give performance-conscious players a lighter choice

⚠️ Cons

  • Only covers deer skull and antlers — if you want other bone or taxidermy retextures, this won't help
  • Last updated in 2021 — may not be patched for the latest game version, though texture mods often still work
  • No screenshots or install details in the description, so you're flying blind on the visual result
🎯 Is This For You?
For players who notice texture blur on decorative skulls and want a quick visual upgrade without overhauling the whole game. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or a broader texture pack.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager — no load order worries.
  • If you're on a lower-end PC, grab the 2K mounted antlers option to save VRAM while still getting a boost.
  • Check the mod's file structure to see if it overwrites the vanilla textures directly; if so, back up the originals if you want to revert.
