(At this point, my computer decided it couldn’t handle everything and decided to lose its mind, so I had to re-download everything onto an external drive, which meant that I had to relink the house in Unity. Unfortunately, that means I lost those book covers and maybe some other things, but I didn’t really have the time to go back and fix everything. But I did those steps in the tutorial before this happened, so it’s okay. Just a heads up for why things may look different from this point forward.)
