In the early winter of Skyrim, the ancient Nord, known only as Pops, looked down the road to his small farm. He recalls the days when he roamed the land and remembers old friends who no longer live there. He remembers the excitement he and his friends shared as they traveled from place to place, town to city, city to city in search of their fortune. Well, finding fortune is what they use to justify taking risks.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
