⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing without checking requirements

👍 Pros

Huge download count (742k) — clearly a go-to for crate overhauls.
2,740 endorsements from the community — people actually like this one.
Recently updated (Sept 2025) so it's likely compatible with current game versions.

👎 Cons

No install instructions or compatibility notes provided by the author.
Only covers wood crates — if you wanted other container types, this won't help.
No screenshots or previews in the description, so you're flying blind on the visual change.
