📋 About This Mod

Hey everyone!

This mod is a mesh and texture replacer for the small antlers alchemy ingredient and elk hides. It also replaces the antlers on static deer skulls. It doesn't (yet) touch the large antlers. I may return to those in a while.

Because this is a mesh and texture replacer, you can install or uninstall it at any time without any ill effects on your save.

Thanks for checking out the mod!
