🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since the mod is from 2015, check if you're using Skyrim Special Edition—you may need to port it or find a compatible version.
If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install manually and let the manager handle load order to avoid conflicts.
Make sure you've completed the Dragonborn DLC main quest before recruiting Miraak to avoid story spoilers.
