💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since there's no ESP, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no load order worries.
  • If you use other shield mods, check for conflicts—this mod overwrites vanilla shields, so load order matters if you want a specific look.
  • For best results, pair with other ElSopa texture mods for a consistent art style across your game.
