⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros

- Adds life to the empty spaces between POIs, making exploration more unpredictable.
- Actively updated as of July 2026, so likely compatible with recent game versions.
👎 Cons
- No details on NPC behavior, factions, or loot—could be simple or complex, but you're flying blind.
- No install instructions or dependency notes provided, so you might need to figure it out yourself.
- Potential compatibility issues with other mods that alter spawns or world generation—no patch list given.
