🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's standalone, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no extra patches needed.
Check if your game version is up to date; if you're on a newer patch, test the mod in a small settlement first.
Use the in-game build menu to find the new pieces under their respective categories (walls, roofs, etc.).
