⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing without checking requirements
👍 Pros
- Massive community trust with 70k endorsements and 2.3M downloads — this is a must-have for many.
- Arthmoor's name carries weight; he's known for quality mods like the Unofficial Patch.
- Still updated in 2024, so it's not abandoned and works with current Skyrim.
👎 Cons
- Description is vague — no details on what the expansion actually adds, so you're going in blind.
- If you're not into the Blades or Paarthurnax, this might not add much for you.
- No explicit compatibility notes — you'll need to check if it conflicts with other quest mods.
