🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you have all five official DLCs installed before adding this mod, or the fixes won't apply correctly.
If you're using a mod manager like FOMM or Vortex, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
After installing, start a new game or load a save from before the crashes to test stability—if it still crashes, check your load order.
