💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an older mod, check if your Skyrim version is compatible—if you're on Special Edition, you might need to convert it.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to keep track of the file, and make sure it loads after the official DLC patches.
- If you're using other Markarth overhauls, this might conflict—test it out and adjust load order.
