🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install this mod through the manager to keep your load order clean.
Test the left/right keys in the wait menu—they work only when the wait menu is open, not in the game world.
Since the mod is from 2016, check if you're on Skyrim Classic (Oldrim) before installing; it may not work on Special Edition.
