🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure OBSE is installed correctly by launching the game through OBSE's loader, not the default exe.
Try recruiting a simple NPC like a guard first to get the hang of the commands.
Check the mod's readme or forum threads for a full list of commands, since the description is sparse.
