🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since it's a visual mod, use a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Vortex to keep track of it and avoid conflicts.
Check if you have any other particle or texture mods installed—they might clash, so load order matters.
Test the mod in a save with lots of combat to see if your FPS takes a hit; if so, consider lowering particle quality in settings.
