💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager — no load order worries.
  • If you use other mods that retexture Daedra Hearts, this one will conflict; place it lower in your mod order to override.
  • Check the mod's comments section for user screenshots if you want to see the effect before installing.
