🎯 Tips & Tricks
Place the plugin in your Oblivion Data folder and activate it via the launcher or OBMM.
Run the game and check for a message or notification indicating OBSE status.
If the check fails, reinstall OBSE and ensure you're launching through OBSE's loader, not the vanilla exe.

- Massive download count (126k) proves it's been useful for years.

- No detailed instructions or troubleshooting included — you're on your own if it fails.
- Only checks OBSE presence, not deeper compatibility issues with other mods.
