🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure OBSE is installed correctly—launch the game via obse_loader.exe, not the default launcher, or the plugin won't load.
Check the generated log file after a crash to spot the last error before the freeze—it often points to the culprit mod.
If you're using a mod manager, manually place the DLL in your Oblivion/Data/OBSE/Plugins folder; don't rely on the manager's auto-install.

- Lightweight and doesn't clutter your load order with extra features.
👎 Cons
