⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Massive community trust: 244,939 endorsements and 12.1M downloads prove it's essential
- Solves real compatibility headaches between armor mods and sorting mods
- Actively maintained, last updated July 2026
👎 Cons
- It's a modder's resource, not a gameplay mod—you won't see direct changes in-game
- Requires other mods to be built around it to be useful; standalone it does nothing
- Potential conflicts if other mods aren't built on the same framework
