📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 8,234 endorsements — this is a fix that works.
- Huge download count (252k) shows it's a go-to for many players.
- Simple, focused mod that does exactly what it says without bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016 — might have issues with newer Skyrim versions or mod setups.

- Make sure to place this mod after any combat overhauls in your load order to ensure it takes effect.
- Test with a bow and a spell to confirm the crosshair aligns properly before starting a serious playthrough.
