  1. Click the large Download button above (it points to the project's release page).
  2. Unpack the archive to a folder you control — no installer needed.
  3. Open the included README section for the feature you want before running anything.
  4. Make a backup / snapshot when the workflow calls for one. Always.
  5. Run the tool, apply what you need, and close it. Nothing stays resident.

4. Scope and limits

This project targets local, offline desktop use. Nothing here claims versions, benchmarks or compatibility it hasn't demonstrated.

5. FAQ

Is this really free?

Yes — open source, no Pro tier, no time limits, no ads. The download link above is the only official source.

Does it work in online / multiplayer modes?

No. This project is scoped to single-player use only, and that line is deliberate.

How do I revert changes?

The project is designed around backups and reversible steps; the README workflow always starts with a snapshot.

Can I read the code before running it?

Yes, and you should. Everything is in the repository — no packed binaries without source.

6. Legal

This is an independent community project. Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any game studio, platform, or vendor. Use only where permitted (single-player / personal use). No fabricated versions or statistics are claimed anywhere in this repository.
