Install Instructions
As of now this requires sfse and plugins.txt enabler. It is the safest way at the moment. You should not use the testfile way but do at your own risk. these will be removed once mods are officially supported and in time will have no requirements.
Follow plugins.txt install instructions and then add *GrindBackgrounds.esm to the top of your list or right under starfield community patch which is highly recommended.
