🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you have SKSE installed and launch the game through SKSE's loader, not the default launcher, or the mod won't work.
If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, install the mod through it to keep your load order clean.
Check the mod's compatibility with your Skyrim version (Special Edition or Anniversary Edition) before installing, as the 2020 update may not support the latest patches.
🔧 Troubleshooting
Mod conflicts
Check load order. Disable conflicting mods one by one.
