  • A clean and nice menu, you can edit every bot DVAR within in-game.

  • Everything can be customized, ideal for both personal use and dedicated servers. Have a look at Documentation to see whats possible!

  • This mod does not edit ANY stock .gsc files, meaning EVERY other mod is compatible with this mod. Mod doesn't add anything unnecessary, what you see is what you get.
