⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust: 7,929 endorsements and 1.3M downloads show it's a must-have for immersion fans.
- Tiny fix that makes a big difference—you'll actually hear and see NPCs drinking, not just awkwardly raising a cup.
- Zero bloat: does exactly what it says, no extra scripts or conflicts.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2021—might be outdated for the latest game version, so check compatibility before installing.
- Only addresses drinking animations; if you're looking for broader NPC behavior fixes, this won't cover them.
- No detailed documentation or troubleshooting guide, so you're on your own if something goes wrong.
