✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Adds more variety to character creation for those who've exhausted the original backgrounds.
- The trade-off design (strong start, harsh later) adds a strategic layer to choosing a background.
- Decent community traction with 162 endorsements and over 13k downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020 — may be outdated or incompatible with current game versions.
- No detailed list of the new backgrounds or their specific effects, so you're going in blind.
- Requires Merlord's character backgrounds mod as a base, so it's not standalone.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Merlord's character backgrounds installed first, as this mod builds on it.
