⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing without checking requirements

👍 Pros

Huge community trust: 3,131 endorsements and 1 million downloads—this is a proven mod.
Performance-friendly: claims to run on weak computers, so you don't need a beast rig.
Real-time reflections are a game-changer for immersion, making the wasteland feel more alive.

👎 Cons

Requires NVSE, so you'll need to install that first—extra setup step.
No detailed feature list or install instructions in the description, so you'll have to figure out customization on your own.
Last updated in early 2025—might not be compatible with future game patches or other mods if not updated.
