🎯 Tips & Tricks
If you use SMAPI, just drop the mod folder into your Mods directory — no extra setup needed.
Make sure you have SMAPI installed and run the game through it, or the mod won't load.
If you're also using mods that change Clint's schedule or shop, test them together to avoid conflicts.

⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community approval (6,396 endorsements) — clearly a popular QoL fix.
- Saves real time and frustration, especially for players who hate pausing their routine.
- Lightweight and focused — does exactly what it says without bloat.
👎 Cons
- No explicit compatibility notes — may conflict with other mods that alter Clint's shop or tool upgrade logic.
- Only affects tool upgrades, so if you wanted more Clint changes, this isn't it.
- Last updated in April 2024 — could be outdated if the game has since changed upgrade mechanics.
