{% hint style="info" %} Pure texture replacer mods are generally compatible with everything and can be added or removed mid-playthrough. This mod list is somewhat light on texture mods because I like the vanilla aesthetics of Intelligent Textures and that's why this is the baseline and not much else is added. Feel free to install any texture replacer at will. {% endhint %}
