✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny but dedicated community (18 endorsements) — the kind of mod that quietly powers bigger projects.
- 2,230 downloads show real interest despite low endorsement count.
- Recently updated (April 2026) — likely compatible with current game version.
⚠️ Cons
- No detailed documentation or feature list — you're on your own figuring out how to use it.
- Only 18 endorsements — might be rough around the edges or too niche for most players.
- Framework mods usually require other mods to be useful — expect to pair this with something else.
For mod authors and tinkerers who want to build custom weapon crafting systems. If you're a player looking for ready-made weapons, skip this — it's a foundation, not a finished product.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's forum or comments for any hidden setup steps — framework mods often need extra config.
- If you're not a modder, look for mods that depend on Smith to see it in action.
- Since it's a framework, test it in a separate save to avoid breaking your main playthrough.
