⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing without checking requirements

👍 Pros

Huge download count (692k) shows it's a go-to for combat immersion.
Limb-specific reactions add depth without overhauling the whole animation system.
Actively updated (March 2026) — you know it's not abandoned.

👎 Cons

Description is bare-bones — no install instructions or compatibility notes.
Only affects grunts, so if you wanted reactions for all NPCs, this won't cut it.
No mention of mod manager support — might need manual file placement.
