📋 About This Mod

[]"The textures look wobbly" - Most likely due to a mod like Skyrim 202X adding parallax to the surfaces, download the parallax textures and this will fix the issue (and make the mod look better as parallax is great!)
- Compatibility
Since this is a re-texture mod, make sure you load this mod below/after any conflicting mods. It will also not take up an esp slot as it only contains texture files.
