⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing without checking requirements

👍 Pros

Massive community approval (80,003 endorsements) — this is one of the most trusted NPC overhauls out there.
Huge download count (6.5M) means it's been tested by tons of players and works for most.
Targets exactly the wives you'll actually marry — no wasted changes on random NPCs.

👎 Cons

Last updated in 2017 — might have issues with the latest Skyrim SE patches or other mods.
Only covers nine NPCs — if you marry someone else, you're out of luck.
No detailed feature list or install instructions in the description — you're on your own for setup.
