🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's a model replacement, make sure to place it in your load order after any mods that might alter terminal meshes.
Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to easily install and uninstall if you don't like the look.
If you're on PC, you can preview the models in the Creation Kit or by opening the meshes in NifSkope before installing.

Mod conflicts
Check load order. Disable conflicting mods one by one.
