✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 3,911 endorsements and over 100k downloads.
- Simple, focused tweak that makes smithing progression more flexible.
- Lightweight and doesn't overhaul anything else.
⚠️ Cons

- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter smithing experience or crafting menus.

💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager, just download and activate—no special setup needed.
- Works alongside most smithing mods, but check for patches if you use major overhauls like Complete Crafting Overhaul.
- Since it's from 2016, test it with your current Skyrim version to ensure it works.
