🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure your game is on v1.31 before installing, as the mod is only confirmed for that version.
Start with a small increase to draw distance and test performance in dense areas like Novigrad before pushing further.
If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
