🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since this mod is from Arthmoor, check if you have the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch (USSEP) installed, as many of his mods require it.
If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, install this mod through it to keep your load order clean.
After installing, test forging arrows at a forge to ensure the new recipes appear correctly.
