✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community trust with 114 endorsements and over 5,300 downloads.
- Solves a real annoyance: picking the right actor when multiple are nearby.
- Recent update (June 2026) shows the author is still active.
⚠️ Cons
- Niche feature set—if you don't have issues with nearby actor selection, this may not be essential.
- No compatibility notes for other mods, so potential conflicts are unknown.
For players who frequently interact with multiple NPCs or objects in tight spaces and want precise control over who gets activated. Also for those who appreciate smoother animations and bug fixes like blink and immobile actors. Skip if you're happy with vanilla activation and don't need extra polish.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if the mod requires a script extender or mod manager; if so, install via your mod manager to avoid manual file placement issues.
- Test the actors menu in a crowded area (like a market) to see how it prioritizes nearby actors.
- If you experience conflicts with other UI mods, try adjusting load order or disabling other menu mods.
