🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you have the latest SKSE version installed and launch the game through SKSE's loader to ensure the plugin works.
If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install the mod through the manager to keep your load order clean.
Check the mod's compatibility with other weather or water mods—though it's lightweight, it's always good to test in a rainy area.
