📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny but dedicated following (9 endorsements) — niche players will appreciate the extra RP flavor
- Lightweight addition that doesn't overhaul gameplay, perfect for roleplayers who want subtle depth
- Recent update (May 2026) means it's fresh and likely compatible with current OpenMW versions

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have the Character Traits Framework installed and working before adding this mod — it won't function without it.
- Since the author mentioned setup issues, double-check that the mod's files are placed in the correct OpenMW data directory (e.g., `Data Files` or a mod folder).
- Test the background in a new game or by editing an existing character to ensure it appears correctly — if not, re-read the framework's documentation for load order.
