🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you install the full Lightning mod and CoT first, then this patch, and load it after both in your mod order.
If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and enable—no manual file placement needed.
Since this patch is old, check if your CoT version is compatible; if lightning doesn't trigger, try a newer patch or manual edit.
