🎯 Tips & Tricks
Since this mod is from 2017, check if it works with your game version — if you're on the latest patch, test it early to avoid crashes.
Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to easily enable/disable this mod if you run into issues.
If you're also using other gameplay overhaul mods, load order might matter — place GILL after mods that alter improvement stats.
