📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Huge community trust: 2,335 endorsements and 58k downloads for a niche fix.
  • Directly addresses a frustrating vanilla mechanic that breaks stealth builds.
  • Simple, focused purpose—does one thing and does it well.

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2009—likely incompatible with modern mod setups or the GOG/Steam versions without patches.
  • May conflict with other mods that alter AI or faction behavior.
🎯 Is This For You?
