⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

Huge community trust with 21,021 endorsements and 436,604 downloads.
Flexible install with multiple sorting options to fit your preference.
Compatibility options (.esp or .STRINGS) let you choose what works best for your setup.

👎 Cons

No detailed documentation on what each sorting option does, so you might need to experiment.
Prefixes only apply to some item names, so not all items will be sorted consistently.
