🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure to back up your original INI files before replacing them, so you can revert if needed.
If the mod doesn't work as expected, check that you're placing the INIs in the correct directory (usually the game's root or config folder).
Combine with a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 for easier installation and uninstallation.
