✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny mod that fixes a real annoyance—no more standing around waiting for enemies to react
- Simple install: just drop it in and go
- Lightweight and focused, does exactly what it says
⚠️ Cons
- Only 17 endorsements—small user base, so less community testing

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using OpenMW, don't install this—it's unnecessary and could cause conflicts.
- Place the mod files directly into your Morrowind Data Files folder, then activate the .esp in the launcher.
- If you use a mod manager like Wrye Mash or Mod Organizer 2, install it through that for easier removal.
