📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 541 endorsements and over 115k downloads—clearly fills a need.
- Simple UI improvement that helps you identify soul gems without memorizing icons.
- Built on Description Framework 2.0, so it integrates cleanly with that system.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Description Framework 2.0 as a dependency, so you'll need to install that first.
- Only affects soul gems—if you wanted descriptions for other items, this won't help.

For Skyrim players who want a cleaner inventory experience and hate squinting at soul gem icons. If you're already using Description Framework, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic UI.
💡 Beginner Tips
