Notes:
If you decide to use this mod, you will need to regenerate your TexGen and Dyndolod. This mod is just a texture replacement, nothing special is required to use it. Completely safe to remove from your list during the game. The ideal would be to regenerate the lods, but if you do not, this will not cause CT problems or any other type of crash.
If you have any problems, please report them with information that is sufficient to solve the case, problems reported without information will be disregarded.
As I always like to say, I'm starting out with texture mods so problems can occur, I'll do my best to solve them all.
