⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing without checking requirements
👍 Pros
- Community-sourced descriptions mean you get real player knowledge, not just dry stats.
- Covers a wide range of items and skills, so you'll likely find it useful across your whole playthrough.
- Small but active user base (46 endorsements) suggests it's working for those who use it.
👎 Cons
- Only 46 endorsements — it's a niche mod, so don't expect widespread polish or frequent updates.
- No install instructions provided by the author, which might trip up less experienced modders.
- Last updated July 2026 — if the game gets patched, this may need an update to stay compatible.
