🎯 Tips & Tricks
Check if the mod requires a script extender or mod loader — if so, install that first.
Make sure to back up your save before installing, just in case the mod conflicts with your current progress.
If the mod doesn't work after a game update, check the mod page for patches or user fixes in the comments.
🔧 Troubleshooting
Mod conflicts
Check load order. Disable conflicting mods one by one.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing without checking requirements
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust (3,452 endorsements) — clearly does what it says.
- Saves you an entire playthrough just to hit max weapon rank.
- Lightweight and focused — no bloat, just removes the NG+ gate.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2021 — might not work with the latest game patches.
- No install instructions in the description — you're on your own if you're new to modding.
- Only affects weapon upgrades — if you wanted other NG+ unlocks unlocked, this won't help.
