📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 661 endorsements—players find it useful.
- Fixes a real annoyance: watchtower spawning in a tree clump and near enemies.

⚠️ Cons

- Last updated in 2023, so may not be compatible with newer game updates or mod versions.
For Fallout 4 players who use South of the Sea and want a cleaner watchtower placement without tree clipping or immediate enemy spawns. Skip if you don't use that mod or don't mind the original placement.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have South of the Sea installed before adding this patch, and load the patch after it in your mod manager.
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex, let it handle load order automatically—this patch should be placed after the main mod.
- Check the watchtower location after installing to confirm the patch took effect; if it's still in the trees, your load order might be wrong.
