⚠️ Common Mistakes

  • Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

  • Huge download count (99,700) shows it's a go-to for players wanting more background options.
  • 1,414 endorsements from the community—people are happy with it.
  • Recent update (October 2024) means it's likely compatible with current game patches.

👎 Cons

  • Description is vague—doesn't list exactly which backgrounds are added, so you might not know if your favorite is included.
  • No install instructions or requirements listed, so you're on your own for setup.
  • Only adds backgrounds, not new mechanics or story content—if you want gameplay changes, this won't deliver.
