📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 228 endorsements and nearly 10k downloads.
- Simple cosmetic mod that changes the look of jokers without affecting gameplay.

⚠️ Cons
- Only replaces 'many' jokers, not all — you'll still see original art on some.
- Art style is subjective; if you're not into waifu-style illustrations, this isn't for you.
- No screenshots or detailed previews in the description, so you're going in blind.
