⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing without checking requirements

👍 Pros

Community-approved with 37,819 endorsements and 5.9 million downloads — this is a must-have for anyone tired of dark faces.
Simple and effective: directly targets the FaceGen error root cause, no extra bloat.
Last updated in 2022, so it's stable and compatible with most setups.

👎 Cons

Only fixes dark face issues; doesn't address other visual glitches or mod conflicts.
Requires you to have the issue in the first place — if you don't have dark faces, you won't notice a difference.
No detailed documentation on how it works under the hood, but for a bug fix that's often fine.
