🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure kNVSE is installed correctly and is the latest version, as this mod relies on it.
Since it's ESPless, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager; no need to activate a plugin.
Test with a melee NPC early on to see the sprint behavior and adjust if you have other AI mods that might conflict.
