🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since the mod is from 2010, check if you're using Oblivion with the latest patches and consider using a mod manager like Wrye Bash to handle load order.
Test the new arrows in a safe save before using them in critical missions to see how the AI behavior changes.
Look for compatibility patches if you use other stealth or AI overhaul mods, as the AI changes might conflict.
