🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's a standalone mesh, you can safely install it with a mod manager like Nexus Mods' Vortex or manually drop the files into your Data folder.
Check if you have any mods that also modify Brahmin feeders — if so, load order might matter, but standalone meshes usually avoid conflicts.
If you're on PC, you can preview the meshes in the Creation Kit or use a tool like NifSkope to see the new models before installing.
