⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust (1,638 endorsements) — this is a must-have for gift-giving.
- Saves you from awkward moments of giving a hated gift — no more reloading saves.
- Lightweight UI addition that doesn't overhaul the game, just adds a helpful bubble.
👎 Cons
- Only works if you know the NPC's preferences — it doesn't teach you them, just predicts.
- May feel like a spoiler for players who enjoy discovering likes/dislikes organically.
- Requires SMAPI to run, so console players are out of luck.
