💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure OBSE is installed correctly – launch the game through obse_loader.exe, not the default launcher, or the plugin won't work.
- If you use a mod manager like Wrye Bash or OBMM, install the plugin through it to keep your Data folder clean.
- Test the mod by mounting a horse with a bow or sword equipped – if weapons still don't show, check your load order and ensure no other mods override the same skeleton.
