🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's an old mod, manually place the files into your Oblivion Data folder and ensure you have Archive Invalidation enabled.
If you use a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash, install it through that to manage conflicts with other UI mods.
Test with a save before a merchant interaction to see the container menu changes.
