🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's an animation mod, make sure to place it in your load order after any mods that alter first-person animations to avoid conflicts.
If you're using a mod manager, just download and activate; if manual, drop the files into your Data folder and enable in the launcher.
Check the mod's comments section for any user-reported compatibility patches if you have other animation mods installed.
