Ben Lubar's Vanilla Expanded Patches
A collection of small patches and quality of life changes for the Vanilla Expanded series and related mods.
Patches that apply to mods that are not installed are simply not applied; there is no need to install all of Vanilla Expanded to use this mod.
XML patches (X) are always active; Harmony patches (H) can be toggled in the settings.
