🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you have Starfield's script extender (SFSE) installed if required, though the mod doesn't list dependencies—check the mod page for any hidden requirements.
Place the .pex file in the correct Data/Scripts folder, and if you're using a mod manager, follow its specific instructions for script mods.
Test the mod on a new save or after a fresh scan to ensure it works with your current game version.
