🎯 Tips & Tricks
Choose the version without the earring if you plan to use a piercing mod that adds earrings, to avoid overlap.
If you're using the Piercing Improvement (Physics) mod, make sure to load this mod after it in your mod manager.
Check the mod's posts section on Nexus for any user-reported compatibility notes with other Gale appearance mods.
