⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing without checking requirements

👍 Pros

Huge community approval (28,447 endorsements) — this is a must-have for many players.
Simple concept that adds immersion: generals and leaders finally carry gear worthy of their rank.
Lightweight and likely compatible with most setups since it only adds items to specific NPCs.

👎 Cons

Last updated in 2018 — may have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods that alter those NPCs.
Only affects a handful of characters, so if you're expecting a wide variety of new weapons, this isn't it.
No detailed description of the weapons themselves — you'll have to discover them in-game.
