      I have 100+ mods installed and your mod is causing a crash!

      Nothing I can do about it, I'm not going to install 100+ mods to debug your issue, you narrow it down to the mods in question and I'll be much more inclined to take a look.

      I encountered an issue, what should I do?

      Post the information in the correct mod channel on Discord. The more information (screenshot, logs, reports, actions, etc.) provided the easier and faster it will be to resolve the issue.

      Is it save game compatible?

      Yes, it can safely be added to an ongoing save game. It should be safe to remove from a save, but you should always backup your save before attempting any game/save modification.

      Join my community Discord server for support, discussion and suggestions.

      All of my mods are open source and located on my GitHub. I just ask that before you release anything with substantial similarities, you message me for approval. Feel free to "borrow" any code for whatever you need (with credit). Be sure to also follow the license and release anything as open source as well, that way the modding community can grow!

  • Test the basic bandage first before enabling bleed to see if the added mechanic is worth it.
