🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's mesh-only, just drop the meshes folder into your Data directory or use a mod manager—no need to worry about load order.
If you use other mods that change well or sewer meshes, let this one overwrite them or test for conflicts.
Check the mod page for any optional files or patches that might be needed for specific setups.
🔧 Troubleshooting
Mod conflicts
Check load order. Disable conflicting mods one by one.
