⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

Massive community trust (273k endorsements) — this is the standard for config editing.
Saves you from digging through JSON files; everything's in a clean menu.
Active updates (October 2025) mean it keeps working with the latest game patches.

👎 Cons

Requires other mods to be built with GMCM support — not all mods have it.
No built-in search or filter for long mod lists, which can get cluttered.
If you only use a few mods, you might not need it — but it's still handy.
