⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

Massive community approval (38,767 endorsements) — this is a must-have for many players
Huge download count (2.9M) proves it's battle-tested across countless playthroughs
Recent update (June 2026) means it's likely compatible with current game patches

👎 Cons

Only covers vanilla guns — modded weapons won't get the treatment unless they patch it in
No detailed install instructions in the description — you'll need to know your mod manager basics
If you're using weapon mods that alter meshes, you might see conflicts or need compatibility patches
