🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you have SKSE64 and SkyUI installed—this mod relies on them for menus and scripts.
Check the mod's forum posts for compatibility notes with other crafting overhauls like Complete Crafting Overhaul.
If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, grab the SE version from the Files tab, not the Oldrim one.
