- Lightweight mod that doesn't affect gameplay

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017, may not be compatible with the latest Skyrim version

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod files in your Data folder or use a mod manager for easy installation.
- If you're using other mods that alter Meeko's appearance, load order matters—put True Meeko after them to ensure it takes effect.
- Check if your game version is compatible; since it's from 2017, it may need a compatibility patch for Special Edition.
