🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's a simple mod, you can install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder, but using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 makes uninstalling easier.
Load order matters: place it after other combat mods that alter NPC behavior to avoid conflicts.
If you use other combat mods, check their compatibility pages—this mod is old, so some newer mods may override its changes.
🔧 Troubleshooting
Mod conflicts
Check load order. Disable conflicting mods one by one.
