⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge amount of new dialogue (170+ lines) means you'll rarely hear the same thing twice
- Community favorite with 1,789 endorsements and over 45k downloads
- Makes Marnie feel like a real person instead of a quest dispenser
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2018 — may not be compatible with the latest game patches
- Only affects Marnie — if you want overhauls for other NPCs, you'll need separate mods
- No install instructions provided, so you'll need to know how to use mods already
