⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing without checking requirements

👍 Pros

Huge community trust (8,895 endorsements) — this is a must-have for anyone struggling with Strip stutter
Over 900k downloads — clearly a go-to fix that works for tons of players
One-line description, zero bloat — it does exactly what it says and nothing else

👎 Cons

Only affects The Strip — if you have performance issues elsewhere, this won't help
Removing water LOD might cause visual pop-in or missing water reflections in distant views
Last updated March 2024 — likely fine for current game versions, but no guarantee of future compatibility
