Saves you from the grind—no more farming smithing stones for every weapon you want to try
Solid community trust with 233 endorsements and over 10k downloads
Lightweight tweak that doesn't overhaul the whole game, just the annoying part

👎 Cons

Only for game version 1.08.1—if you've updated past that, this might break your game
No details on whether it affects all upgrade types or just some, so you're going in blind
No install instructions or compatibility notes from the author, so you're on your own
