⚠️ Common Mistakes

Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility

👍 Pros

Massive community approval (1,757 endorsements) — clearly a mod people love.
Straightforward change: more sockets means more build variety without breaking the game.
Updated for Next Gen (2023), so it's compatible with the current version.

👎 Cons

No detailed description — you're left to figure out exactly which sockets are affected (maybe all of them?).
Only two socket counts changed; if you wanted more customization, this might not be enough.
No screenshots or videos provided, so you can't see the effect before installing.
