🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since the mod description doesn't mention dependencies, it likely just needs to be placed in the Mods folder—use a mod manager like Vortex for easy toggling.
If you're mid-playthrough, consider starting a new Dark Urge run to experience the changes from the beginning, as the mod may not retroactively affect existing saves.
Check the mod's posts or comments section on the Nexus page for any user-reported compatibility notes with the latest game version.
