🎯 Tips & Tricks
Install with your mod manager (e.g., Vortex or Mod Organizer 2) and enable it after other animation mods to ensure it takes priority.
If you use a mod that changes bard behaviors, test in a tavern to confirm the fix works—if not, adjust load order.
Check for compatibility patches if you use animation frameworks like FNIS or Nemesis, as they may need to re-run after installation.
