✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community trust with 71 endorsements and over 10k downloads
- Fills a real gap for players stuck on Skyrim 1.5.97 who want Ascension 2
- Simple patch mod—does exactly what it says, no bloat
⚠️ Cons

- Requires Custom Skills Framework v1, so you need to track down that dependency separately
- Compatibility risk with other mods that modify the same skill systems—test carefully
For Skyrim players who are still on version 1.5.97 and want to use Darenii's Ascension 2 but need it to work with Custom Skills Framework v1. If you're on a newer Skyrim version or don't use CSF, this mod isn't for you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure your Skyrim is exactly version 1.5.97—check your game folder or use a mod manager to confirm.
- Install Custom Skills Framework v1 first, then this patch, and load it after the framework in your mod order.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
