✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 328 endorsements and over 18,000 downloads.
- Does exactly what it says—no more NPCs yelling 'Hail, summoner!' from across the street.
- One-file install, no patches or compatibility nightmares.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015—might be outdated for the Special Edition or Anniversary Edition, though the setting likely still works.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the .esp file in your Skyrim/Data folder and enable it in your mod manager or launcher.
- If you're using Skyrim Special Edition, you may need to re-save the plugin in the Creation Kit to update the form version.
- This mod only changes one game setting, so it's safe to add or remove mid-playthrough.
