🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you have the latest SKSE64 version that matches your Skyrim game version (SE or AE) to avoid crashes.
Check the mod's INI file for the shield-on-back option—it's off by default, so enable it if you want that feature.
If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement to keep your Data folder clean.

- Universal compatibility: works with any weapon, no mesh patching needed.
👎 Cons
