⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing without checking requirements
👍 Pros
- Massive community trust with 30,375 endorsements and 2.1M downloads.
- Actively maintained, last updated February 2025, so likely compatible with current game version.
- Total overhaul means you get a completely new way to play DS3, not just a tweak.
👎 Cons
- Description is vague—no specific features listed, so you'll need to read the wiki to know what changes.
