🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure you have F4SE installed and launch the game through f4se_loader.exe, not the default launcher, or the mod won't work.
If you use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, install the mod through it to keep your load order clean.
Check the mod's forum posts or comments for any known compatibility issues with other crafting UI mods before adding it to a heavy mod list.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust: 37,338 endorsements and 2.7M downloads.
- Solves a real annoyance—no more squinting through a blurry shader while crafting.
- Gives you control over the shader for Power Armor and robot stations, not just standard workbenches.
👎 Cons
- Requires F4SE, so you'll need to install and maintain that dependency.
- No detailed feature list or changelog in the description—what you see is what you get.
- Last updated June 2026, but if the game updates, F4SE might break and this mod could need a patch.
