✅ Pros

⚠️ Cons
- Requires manual mesh deletion or hiding, which can be tricky for modding newcomers
- May conflict with mods that add smelters to new locations, as it could change those too

For Skyrim players who want more visual variety in smelter models, especially those who frequent Orc Strongholds and small villages. It's a lightweight cosmetic tweak that fits well with other immersive mods. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or if you don't care about smelter appearances.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to hide or delete the mesh from Renthal311's mod as instructed, otherwise the new models won't show up correctly.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to easily toggle the mesh files and avoid overwriting issues.
- If you have other mods that add smelters to new locations, test in-game to see if this mod changes them unexpectedly.
