🎯 Tips & Tricks
Use a mod manager like Vortex to easily toggle between the tutorial chest and replacer options.
If you choose the tutorial chest option, make sure to check the chest in the tutorial area to get the gear.
Since it's compatible with body types 1-4, it should work for any race you play, but double-check your body type mods if you use any.
