✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Two distinct visual styles give you options to match your character's aesthetic
- High-resolution textures (4K and 2K) ensure Arvak looks sharp even on modern displays
- Community-approved with over 1,200 endorsements and 700k downloads
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects Arvak's appearance—no gameplay changes or new features
- No screenshots or additional details provided in the description, so you can't preview the look before downloading
