💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since this mod replaces texture files, make sure to back up your original game files or use a mod manager like Vortex to handle installation and uninstallation.
  • Check the mod's comments section for any reported issues with the latest Starfield update – if there are problems, you might need to wait for a patch or use a compatibility patch.
  • If you're using other visual mods, install this one last to avoid texture conflicts, and test in a busy area like New Atlantis to see the effects.
