🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's an older mod, make sure to check if it's compatible with your version of Oblivion (e.g., GOTY or Steam) before installing.
If you use a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash, install it through that to keep your load order clean.
Test it in a house with lots of items to see if it stabilizes things before relying on it for your main display.
