⚠️ Cons
- Only affects oil puddle hazards, not other trap types—might feel limited if you wanted broader trap interactions.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a script edit, make sure you have Skyrim's Script Extender (SKSE) installed to avoid conflicts.

- Test in a dungeon with oil puddles (like Bleak Falls Barrow) to see the effect immediately.
