🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install DFS as a separate mod and load it after any body or skeleton mods to ensure it overrides correctly.
Check if your other mods (like body replacers) already include skeleton changes — DFS may conflict if load order isn't right.
Since the mod hasn't been updated since 2022, test it with your current game version and look for community patches if issues arise.
