🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you're using a mod manager like Nexus Mods' Vortex, you can install this mod with one click and let it handle file placement.
Make sure to check the load order if you have other mods that affect the same gates, to avoid conflicts.
This mod is purely functional; it doesn't add new content, so it's safe to use with most gameplay overhauls.
