🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure to place the mod files in your Data folder or use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2.
If you're using other UI mods, test iActivate after them to ensure no conflicts.
Consider pairing with a mod that adds subtle visual cues (like glowing objects) to compensate for the removed prompt.
