💡 Beginner Tips
- Since there's no ESP, you can just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no need to worry about load order.
- Make sure you have the Dawnguard DLC installed, as the husky model comes from it.
- If you're using other dog replacers, this mod will override them, so install it last or check for conflicts.
