💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod is from 2012, check if your Skyrim version is compatible — if not, look for a patch or use a mod manager to handle conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, just drop the mod in and enable it — no need to manually edit files.
- Test the mod by finding a Nirnroot early in the game (like in the tutorial cave) to confirm the sound and face appear correctly.
