  • Lightweight and focused; does exactly what it says without extra bloat.

⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since it's a UI mod, make sure your mod manager is set to load it after any other UI mods to avoid conflicts.
  • If you're on PC, you can manually drop the files into your game's Data folder—just back up the original files first.
  • Test it in HDR mode to see the difference; if you don't use HDR, you might not notice the change as much.
