📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,718 endorsements and over 54k downloads—clearly a lot of players dig it.

- Gives your gear that classic Kaer Morhen vibe without needing a full overhaul.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020—might have issues with the latest game patches or DLC.
- Only changes appearance; if you wanted new stats or effects, this isn't it.
