✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 10,524 endorsements – clearly a trusted overhaul.
- Massive download count (169k) shows it's been widely used for years.
- JK's overhauls are known for adding immersive clutter and atmosphere.
⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips

- Since the mod is old, test it with your current Skyrim version; if you see issues, try cleaning with SSEEdit.
