🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since the mod is from 2008, check if your Fallout 3 version is compatible; if you use a mod manager, consider manual installation to avoid conflicts.
If you have other VATS-related mods, test this one last to ensure it doesn't override their effects.
Back up your original files before replacing, just in case you want to revert.
