If you're a mod creator, set this as a requirement in your mod's description so users know to install it first.
Check the external links for the full animation list and ID codes — you'll need those to reference the VFX in your mod.
Use a mod manager like Vortex to install this as a dependency, making it easier to manage for your users.
