✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (192k) shows it's a go-to for minimap clarity.
- Lightweight and focused—does exactly what it says without bloat.
- Recently updated (Sept 2024), so it's likely compatible with current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the minimap; if you wanted more UI overhauls, this isn't it.
- No screenshots or install instructions provided, so you're on your own for setup.
For players who constantly lose track of north on the minimap and want a quick fix. Also great for those who prefer minimal UI tweaks over full overhauls. Skip if you're looking for a comprehensive UI replacement—this is a single-purpose mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's page for any load order notes, but since it's a simple UI tweak, it should work out of the box.
- If you use other UI mods, test for conflicts—some may override minimap elements.
- Look for a settings file or in-game options to adjust the highlight intensity if available.
