⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust with 9,207 endorsements and over 325k downloads
- Makes bridge placement way less finicky—snapping to floors and stairs is a game-changer for settlement builds
- The extra side snap nodes open up creative building options that vanilla doesn't allow
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2016—likely not tested with newer Fallout 4 updates or DLC, so compatibility could be an issue
- Only adds two new bridge pieces, so if you're looking for a massive content pack, this isn't it
- No documentation provided for installation or load order, so you're on your own if something goes wrong
