For Skyrim modders who experience random framerate drops or stutter in heavily modded playthroughs, especially those with complex script-heavy mods.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with your mod manager and place it near the end of your load order to ensure it loads after other script-heavy mods.
- If you're using Skyrim Special Edition, make sure you grab the correct version for your game (SE/AE) from the mod page.
- Pair with a save game script cleaner to remove already-stuck scripts for best results.
