⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

Huge community approval (4,472 endorsements) — this is a mod people actually use.
Massive download count (114k) means it's been tested by tons of players.
Covers all the important item categories — potions, oils, bombs, quest items, glyphs, runes — so your whole inventory looks consistent.

👎 Cons

Last updated in February 2023 — might not be fully compatible with the latest game patches.
No detailed install instructions provided by the author, so you might need to figure out the setup yourself.
It's purely cosmetic — if you're looking for gameplay changes, this won't add anything new.
