🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since this mod is from 2009, test it on a clean load order first to see if it handles your mods correctly.
If you're using Fallout Mod Manager (FOMM), this tool might integrate well – but for newer managers, consider using their built-in sorters.
Always keep a backup of your load order before running any auto-sorter, just in case it messes things up.
