Q: Can I install the mod in the middle of the playthrough?
A: You can do this. However, the changes will not apply to locations you have already visited, as the static loot lists for them have already been generated. The traders you visit will also have predetermined loot (But it is still possible to get the items from traders, their inventory refreshes every 2-3 long rests).
