💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure FOSE is installed correctly and launch the game through fose_loader.exe, not the default launcher, or the mod won't work.
- After installing, check your Pip-Boy quest menu for a new option to deselect quests — it's usually a key press or a toggle.
- If you're using a mod manager like FOMM or Vortex, follow the mod's install instructions carefully to avoid conflicts with other quest-related mods.
