🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—no load order tweaks needed for a simple mod like this.
Test with a follower in a city to see the new positioning; if it feels off, check for compatibility with other follower mods you have.
Since it's from 2015, make sure your game is updated to a version that still supports old mods, or use the mod with a clean save.
