⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust: 34,716 endorsements and 2.5M downloads — this is a proven mod.
- Modular system means you can mix and match vision effects and colors to fit your playstyle.
- Craftable and upgradeable, so it integrates with Fallout 4's crafting loop instead of being a simple item drop.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in April 2023 — may not be fully compatible with the latest Fallout 4 updates or DLC.
- No explicit mention of compatibility with other mods that alter vision effects or HUD, so conflicts could arise.
- Requires you to invest in crafting perks and materials to get the most out of it, which might not suit early-game characters.
