📋 About This Mod
WARNING! BEFORE LOADING THE MOD, MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR SAVE! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OF ANYONE'S GAME PROGRESS!
This is a massive project, developed in secret over the past few years, encompassing many different modifications to MSC by me. The time has finally come to share it with you.
Unfortunately, because the mod is very complex and the game mechanics are what they are, some bugs will undoubtedly occur, and I can't prevent every single one. Serious game-breaking errors can be reported in the bugs tab. Please attach the "output_log.txt" file from the game's main folder. This will help me diagnose the issue.
MOST IMPORTANT CHANGES (AND THERE ARE MANY):
OPTIONS THAT CAN BE DISABLED IN THE SETTINGS ARE MARKED IN GREEN.

[]The player can eat berries from bushes in the forest or collect them in strawberry boxes.[/]
[]The lake water floats light objects, while heavy ones sink.[/]

PLAYER CHANGES:
[]Preventing throwing objects through walls, as well as leaning through walls, etc.[/]

[]Visual hints for matching wrench and screw.[/]
[*]To fall asleep, the player must now crouch on the bed and wait motionless until

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 1,326 endorsements and 78k downloads
- Covers a wide range of fixes—environment, player, NPCs—so you get a lot in one mod
- Actively maintained, last updated July 2026, so it's likely compatible with current game version
⚠️ Cons

For players who want a broad quality-of-life overhaul without installing dozens of separate mods. If you're tired of janky NPC behavior or underdeveloped mechanics, this is a one-stop fix. Skip if you prefer granular control over each change or if you already have a tailored mod setup.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a collection mod, test it on a fresh save or back up your current save to avoid surprises.
- Check the mod's forum or comments for known conflicts with popular mods.
- If you use a mod manager, install it manually first to see what files it changes, then decide if you want to use a manager.
