Have you considered a unified texture installer?

It's very confusing for a new player to sort through all the texture mods; many of which have some overlap. There is even a tiny bit of overlap between the ones suggested in the "SS2 Newbie Modding Guide" topic.

Have you considered taking all the ones that are definitely superior to the original, and then just putting them in one unified installer, which then allows the user to make choices between any of the textures that overlap; giving a preview of each one, and they select the preferred one?

a smart mod installed/enabler is planned, but not anytime soon.
