1. Open "ResourceExplorer" application
2. Click "Open Archive" and go to "C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Mafia III/sds_retail/combinables"
(If you're running a non-Steam version, go to your "/Mafia III/sds_retail/combinables" folder, wherever it may be)
3. For texture files go to "auto" or "auto_unique" for NPC textures & Lincoln Clay's textures
4. Make sure to backup default texture files!
Good to Know:

---> How do I replace a texture?
This is what I did for Zombie Lincoln Clay mod's head. I found a beat up/bloody male head model.
I opened up the male head's sds file and saved all .dds file individually to a new folder on my desktop.
Then I opened up "4238483006-he_basebody-b_scar" found in "auto_unique" and renamed all the male's head .dds files to lincoln's head files.
DO NOT REPLACE the .dds files that have a black line in the texture previews! Keep the default .dss files that look like black lines or else the model will be unstable/buggy! After replacing .dds files, I clicked on "Save Archive" and got a new "4238483006-he_basebody-b_scar" file. I pasted it in "Mafia III/sds_retail/combinables/auto_unique" and was done.
Tip: You should click on "Save Archive" every time you replace a .dds file since Mafia III Resource Explorer might crash sometimes.
