⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

Works for all settlements, so you can finally finish that mega-build without hitting the cap.

👎 Cons

Last updated in 2018 — might not be compatible with the latest game patches or DLC.

Only triples the limit; if you need more, you'll have to look elsewhere.
