⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing without checking requirements

👍 Pros

Massive community trust: 76,524 endorsements and 10.8M downloads — this is a must-have for mod authors.
One config file can affect every NPC, saving hours of manual editing.
Regularly updated (last July 2026), so it stays compatible with current Skyrim versions.

👎 Cons

Requires SKSE, which adds an extra setup step for players not familiar with script extenders.
Config file syntax has a learning curve — you'll need to read the docs to use it effectively.
As a framework, it does nothing on its own; you need other mods or custom configs to see effects.
