Overall it can be hard to tell if a mod is only a slight visiual change and not secretly something else so i agree. That being said nobody is likely to care about a texture mod until you start getting very high in the leader boards and if anybody wants i could probably locate the audio file for ashleys armor clanking and upload a file replacement where that is just an empty track. Its just a sanity upgrade and since counting her steps is quite useful it would be kinda fair, it comes with a disadvantage to a skilled runner anyways.
