📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 5,808 endorsements and 1.3 million downloads—clearly a must-have for dog lovers.
- Simple cosmetic upgrade that makes Meeko look better without changing his behavior.
- Light on performance—no heavy scripts or textures, just a visual refresh.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in January 2022—might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods.
