💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is from 2011, consider using a mod manager like Oblivion Mod Manager (OBMM) or Wrye Bash to ensure proper file placement and load order.
- Check for compatibility with your body and armor mods — capes may need to be re-ordered in your load list to avoid clipping.
- If you use the Unofficial Oblivion Patch, test the mod early to ensure no conflicts with merchant inventories.
