🎯 Tips & Tricks
Check the mod's page for any required mod loader like Mod Engine 2, as Elden Ring mods often need it.
Be aware that survival mods can conflict with other gameplay overhauls — test with a new character first.
Since the mod adds darker nights, consider adjusting your brightness settings or using a torch item in-game.
