🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure OBSE is installed and launched correctly—use obse_loader.exe instead of the normal Oblivion executable.
Test the mod in a low-stakes combat situation to see how NPCs react when you break line of sight.
If you use other combat mods, check load order to avoid conflicts—place SM Combat Hide after major overhauls.
