Description
An assortment of quality-of-life and other hopefully light fun mods, most should work together but some I have added here simply cause I like using them sometimes and swapping between them.
In other words, some mods might argue with each other, please read creator descriptions for any special considerations before downloading all of these at once. Also, please give respect to the various creators if you enjoy the mods. ^_^

Gender Name Colors
Created by bunnybun420fml
