⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing without checking requirements

👍 Pros

Huge community trust: 656 endorsements and over 317k downloads show it's a go-to for UI tweaks.
Solves a real problem: the default explosive indicator is vague, and this makes it less confusing, especially with other UI mods.
Lightweight and focused: does one thing and does it well, no bloat.

👎 Cons

Last updated in 2020, so it might not be tested with the latest game patches or mods.
No detailed description of what the new indicator looks like, so you're going in blind.
Only affects the explosive indicator, so if you want a full UI overhaul, this won't cut it.
