📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 381 endorsements and over 8,500 downloads.

- Tiny mod that won't clutter your load order.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects cooking recipes—other uses of Dirty Water remain unchanged.
- May conflict with other mods that alter cooking recipes.

For Fallout 4 players who hate using Dirty Water in recipes when Purified Water is right there. It's a small immersion fix for survivalists and crafters. Skip if you don't care about recipe logic or use overhaul mods that change cooking.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install with a mod manager like Nexus Mods Vortex for easy toggling.
