📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid foundation for modders (63 endorsements from a niche audience)

  • Active enough to have 1,322 downloads, so people are using it

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in April 2022—might break with current game patches

🎯 Is This For You?

  • Check the game version compatibility before using, as the library may need recompiling for updates.
  • Look for community examples or tutorials on using NieRHook, since the description lacks instructions.
