✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 18,176 endorsements and over 572k downloads.
- Script-free means it's lightweight and won't bloat your save or cause script lag.
- Plays nice with the big combat overhauls, so you can stack difficulty without conflicts.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016, so it may not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition patches.
- No detailed documentation on exactly what changes it makes, so you'll have to test it yourself.
- It's a difficulty increaser, so if you're looking for new combat mechanics, this isn't it.
