💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the folder in your OpenMW mods directory, not the game's Data Files folder, to avoid conflicts.
- If using Mod Organizer, check the mod's checkbox and ensure OpenMW is launched through MO2.
- Tweak the shader's blur intensity sliders gradually—start low and increase until distant objects blur to your taste.
