REFramework by praydog
Hi! I'm one of the programming contributors on praydog's REFramework and I'm releasing this mod here to alleviate people needing multiple mods to get FOV slider/Vignette disabler/Freecam/Flashlight & many other features into their game. This mod includes a single DLL file that you place in your games base directory and will spawn a menu when you press Insert while in-game. Once in said menu you're free to configure the mod features all you want!
If you need help using then please post it on this nexus mods page.

✅ Pros
- Massive community approval: 4,328 endorsements and 174,986 downloads.
- All-in-one toolkit—FreeCam, Timescale, FOV, and VR without separate mods.

⚠️ Cons
- Aimed at developers—using the Lua API requires scripting knowledge.
- Overkill for players who only want a simple FOV tweak.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Use FreeCam for cinematic screenshots and to inspect the game world.
- Use Timescale to slow down gameplay when testing script timing.
- Write small Lua scripts first to test API hooks before building complex mods.
