⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing without checking requirements

Huge community trust: 3,175 endorsements and 2.6M downloads show it's a proven favorite.
ESL-flagged, so it's light on your load order and won't eat into the 255 plugin cap.
From Ryn, a well-known mod author—quality is expected.

Only overhauls one location—if you're expecting a massive world expansion, this isn't it.
