🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you use a mod manager, grab the ESL version to save plugin slots—it's the cleanest option.
Loose files are great for manual installs, but remember to place them in your Data folder and enable them in the load order.
Since it's animation-only, it won't conflict with most mods, but check for other animation mods that might override the same files.
