🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since the mod is from 2009, check if you're using the latest Fallout 3 patch or GOTY edition—older mods may need compatibility patches.
If you use a mod manager like FOMM, install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder, then activate the .esp in your load order.
Test the mod early in a save to ensure it doesn't conflict with other overhaul mods that alter vehicle meshes or loot tables.
