✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Does exactly what it says: strips the flashy overlays for a classic feel
- Solid download count (6,093) shows real demand for this niche fix
- Tiny mod, so no performance hit or bloat
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects the Wasted/Busted screens—no other UI changes
- Last updated in 2021, so might not be compatible with the latest game patches
- Could conflict with other UI overhaul mods that touch the same files
For GTA V players who grew up with the original games and want that nostalgic plain 'Wasted' text instead of the modern stylized overlay. It's also great for minimalists who prefer a cleaner death screen. Skip if you're happy with the default look or want more comprehensive UI tweaks.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to install this mod after any other UI mods to avoid file conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable this mod last to ensure it overwrites correctly.
- Check the mod's files to see if it replaces a specific .ytd or .rpf file—back up that file if you want to revert.
