⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Community favorite with 922 endorsements and over 48k downloads.

- Simple QoL improvement that removes the short rest requirement, saving time.
👎 Cons
- No install instructions provided by the author, so you're on your own if you're new to modding.
