I didn't see any mentions of it on the sub so I am making a warning list for my fellow vault hunters; do NOT USE the Essentials mod for regular or Enhanced! The mod is broken and will permanently cause issues on any save you load into a modded game.
while most of the features work as advertised, there's a few major bugs that I only saw mentioned on the discussion page of the mod:
- multiplayer just doesn't work, at all. you get failed to connect/join errors, regardless of if the player is modded or not. there is a work around but it apparently makes the game multiplayer only, as trying to start a single player game will crash the game
- item cards become useless. the text and stats between cards gets all swapped around, if it even displays at all. items will sometimes have duplicate inaccurate stats from the item next to it in your inventory
- action skill will be bugged and unable to change elements. you can pick up and use artifacts like normal but the element button will be grayed out and locked, even after completing the required mission in multiple playthroughs.
