💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a texture mod, you can safely install it with a mod manager like Vortex or MO2; just place it after other texture mods in your load order to ensure it overwrites them.
  • If you're on a low-end PC, choose the 512 resolution version to save VRAM, but on modern systems 2K looks great and is still performance-friendly.
  • This mod only affects lanterns, so pair it with other texture packs for a consistent visual upgrade across the game.
