🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you're using the optional starting manticore swap, make sure to install it after the main mod to avoid overwriting files.
Since the mod is from 2017, check if your game version is compatible; if you're on the Game of the Year edition, test it early in your playthrough.
Use a mod manager like Nexus Mod Manager or Vortex to easily toggle the optional file on and off.
