⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

Community favorite with 7,720 endorsements and over 138k downloads—clearly a mod people trust.
Simple concept that adds much-needed variety to skeleton enemies, making dungeons feel less repetitive.
Lightweight and likely compatible with most setups since it just adds new creature types.

👎 Cons

Last updated in 2020—might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or other mods.
No detailed description or install instructions provided by the author, so you're on your own for setup.
Only adds four race variants; if you wanted more diversity (like different armor or weapons), this won't deliver.
