💡 Beginner Tips
- Since there's no install guide, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager — standard for Starfield mods.
- Make sure you have mod loading enabled in-game (via the ini or the in-game mod menu) to see the changes.
- If you're using other Cydonia overhauls, test for conflicts — this mod adds objects, so it might clash with mods that edit the same cells.
