FAQ
Q: Is this mod going to break my game and destroy my PC?
A: No (In-game performance comparison)

A: Yes... To be fair, I had to edit some UVs and fix some geometry too
Q: Will you make this compatible with mod XYZ?
A: Most other mods are closed permissions while this mod is open permissions, so it is harder for me to obtain permissions to make a patch than the other way around
Q: I don't like this mod! >:(
A: Open permissions means anyone can take the assets from this mod and improve upon them, and that person can even be you
