🎯 Tips & Tricks
Check if the mod requires a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 for your game—manual install might be as simple as dropping files into the mod folder.
Adjust the exploration radius config to your liking; start with a small increase to avoid overwhelming map markers.
Since it's a skill mod, you'll need to actually level the skill in-game to see the tracking benefits—plan your skill points accordingly.
