What's your experience with tabletop tweaks?

[HaleMary]

I like the sound of many of the fixes in the tabletop tweaks mod [github.com] and am thinking about using it for my next playthrough. I'm hesitant to use a mod that affects my saves though. For those who use it: What's your experience? Any major bugs to know about? Does it cause problems when there are game patches? I did a search on here, but most of the comments about it are quite old.

In particular I'm looking forward to running an illusionist with it because it supposedly 1) fixes the shadow spells to properly work on illusion DC and 2) adds shadow enchantment. Does this actually work?

It has not needed to be updated for the last several patches, however it will almost certainly be broken with every major patch. My experience is that it’s been pretty lightweight, however the fixes and additional feats were very welcome. In particular playing as a magus I was happy to see the intensified metamagic and extra arcana feat.

I’ve used all the shadow spells with the mod and they all seem to use illusion for DC’s now (and I believe the author added more choices for the existing shadow spells), however in practice I still end up using the non-greater spells infrequently thanks to the poor spell selection for the spell slot you’re using.

I'm lovin' it! Or however the saying goes.

Tabletop tweaks has become essential for me personally. Its mod authors update lightning fast each time Owlcat rolls out a new update. And there is a toggle for pretty much everything - useful for stuff you don't want.

As an added bonus, more and more mod authors use Tabletop Tweaks as a base for their own mods too. Microscopic Content Expansion[github.com] and Tome Of The Firebird[github.com] being two of such mods.
