✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved fix (740 endorsements) for a common visual gripe.
- Over 131k downloads shows it's a go-to for many SkyTEST users.
- Lightweight and easy to install—just drop in and go.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects pigs—if you wanted other animal tweaks, this won't help.
- Requires SkyTEST to be installed, so it's useless without that mod.
- Compatibility risk if you use other mods that alter pig textures—load order matters.
For Skyrim players who use SkyTEST and find the shiny pig textures distracting. If you're a completionist who wants a more natural look, this is a quick fix. Skip if you don't use SkyTEST or don't care about pig shine.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the mod after SkyTEST in your load order to ensure the texture override works.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to easily toggle this on/off if you want to compare.
- If you see shiny pigs still, double-check that the mod is active and not overwritten by other texture packs.
