💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a simple mesh/texture replacer, you can install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder, but using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 is safer for easy uninstallation.
  • Check your load order—this mod doesn't require patches, but ensure it's not overwritten by other lockpick retextures.
  • If you're on Skyrim SE, make sure your game is updated to a version compatible with mods from 2016; if you're on the latest patch, test it early to confirm it works.
