💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an old mod, check if you're playing Skyrim Legendary Edition or Special Edition – this may only work on the original.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer, install it manually by dropping the files into your Data folder to avoid conflicts.
- Test it on a sunny day in-game – if you don't notice a difference, another mod might be overriding the effect.
