🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you're using a mod manager, drop the file into your load order and enable it — no extra patches needed.
Test on a save before a major dialogue choice to ensure it works with your current game version.
Pair with other dialogue mods carefully — this changes the check logic, so conflicts could arise.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust (877 endorsements) and over 188k downloads — clearly a go-to for this kind of tweak.
- Removes the frustration of failing checks just because the wrong character is talking.
- Simple, focused change that doesn't bloat your game with extra mechanics.
👎 Cons
- No install instructions or compatibility notes provided by the author — you're on your own for setup.
- Last updated in October 2023 — might not be compatible with the latest game patches, so test before relying on it.
- Only affects dialogue checks; if you wanted similar changes for other skill checks, this won't cover them.
