💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's ESL-flagged, you can safely place it anywhere in your load order, but putting it near other location overhauls helps avoid conflicts.
  • If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and enable — no manual file placement needed.
  • Check for patches if you use other mods that alter the same area, like city overhauls or landscape mods.
