⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

Huge community trust (1,514 endorsements) — clearly fills a need for palette purists
Massive download count (172k) proves it's a go-to for visual overhauls
Recent update (Oct 2024) means it's likely compatible with current game patches

No install instructions or compatibility notes provided by the author — you're on your own
Purely cosmetic — if you want gameplay changes, this isn't it
Desaturation might not suit everyone; it's a specific aesthetic choice
