🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you're using a mod manager like Nexus Mods' Vortex, just download with the manager and it'll handle installation automatically.
Check if you have any other V.A.T.S. mods installed — they might conflict, so load order matters.
The optional hit chance files are separate; pick the one that suits your difficulty preference.
