✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny but dedicated community (12 endorsements) — these players know what they want.
- Direct answer to a common complaint: base Half-Orcs look underwhelming.
- Lightweight and focused — no bloat, just visual improvements.
⚠️ Cons
- Very low endorsement count (12) — might be a sign of limited testing or niche appeal.
- Last updated August 2025 — could be outdated if you're on a newer Skyrim version.
