⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing without checking requirements
👍 Pros
- Community-approved with 350 endorsements and 10k downloads—clearly a mod people want.
- Fixes a real immersion breaker: watching Shepard pull out a pistol when you've got a shotgun equipped.
- Recently updated (Dec 2025), so it's likely compatible with current game patches.
👎 Cons
- Only covers the first game (LE1)—if you want this for LE2 or LE3, you're out of luck.
- No detailed description or install instructions provided, so you might have to figure out the setup yourself.
- Small scope: it only affects cutscenes, not gameplay or other aspects.
