💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's an older mod, use a mod manager like OBMM or Wrye Bash to avoid conflicts with other race mods.
  • Check the mod's file structure—if it's just an ESP, drop it into your Data folder and activate it in the launcher.
  • If you're using Oblivion Script Extender (OBSE) or other overhaul mods, test the race in a new game to ensure no crashes.
