🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since this mod replaces the Combat Shotgun, make sure you don't have other mods that alter the same weapon—they'll conflict.
If you're using a mod manager like FOMM, install it through there to keep your load order clean.
Check the mod's file structure after downloading—if it's just a .esp and .nif, you can manually place them in your Data folder.
