🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since this mod is from 2011, check if you're playing the original Skyrim or Special Edition—you may need to convert the mod for SE.
Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to handle installation and avoid overwriting other UI mods.
If you're on Special Edition, look for a compatible version or use a mod that patches old mods for SE.
