🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since this mod alters Freeside, make sure to load it after other mods that touch the same area to avoid conflicts.
Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to easily enable/disable and manage load order.
If you experience performance issues, try disabling other Freeside-related mods to isolate the cause.
🔧 Troubleshooting
Mod conflicts
Check load order. Disable conflicting mods one by one.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing without checking requirements
👍 Pros
- Community favorite with 3,720 endorsements and nearly 400k downloads—clearly a trusted mod.
- Focuses on stability and performance, which is a godsend for Freeside's notoriously buggy open-world area.
- Actively maintained (last updated April 2023) and built on the original Freeside Open concept, so you get the best of both worlds.
👎 Cons
- No explicit compatibility notes for other mods that alter Freeside—you'll need to test with your load order.
- Requires the original Freeside Open? Not stated, but you may need to ensure no conflicts with other Freeside overhauls.
- Performance gains depend on your system; occlusion panes help but won't fix all stutter if your rig is weak.
