⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust (29,580 endorsements) — this is the go-to for stat clarity.
- Nearly a million downloads (967,758) prove it's been battle-tested by the community.
- Kills the guesswork — no more wondering if 'Exceptional Damage' is worth it.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2016 — may not cover mods from later DLCs or updates.
- Only affects descriptions, not actual stats — you still need to compare numbers yourself.
- No explicit compatibility notes for other UI mods, so conflicts are possible.
