Common Sense Reborn
[i]Build 42 QoL Mega-Mod -- 100+ togglable features. SP + MP. No dependencies.[/i]
[hr]
LATEST UPDATE (v1.6.6 -- April 24, 2026)
[list]
[*] [b]Performance pass:[/b] Vision Cone Outline and Point-Blank Accuracy no longer walk the full cell object list while aiming -- replaced with bounded grid-square scans (same precedent as the v1.5.4 ZombieDensityOverlay fix). Big FPS win while aiming, especially in dense areas.
[*] [b]Utility HUD:[/b] [i]fitLine[/i] text truncation is memoized; vehicle-key inventory walk throttled to ~0.5 s. Sound Cues, Stair Sense, Generator Info, Proximity Loot, Rally Points, and the Vehicle Dashboard now cache text widths and vehicle part lookups behind dirty flags.
[*] [b]Hotbar attach from container fixed:[/b] Attaching an item to belt/back for the first time directly from a container previously played a surrender animation while the item slipped into inventory instead of attaching. Removed a redundant CSR override of [i]ISHotbar:attachItem[/i] that skipped the vanilla [i]setAttachAnim[/i] call. Vanilla now runs unmodified for this path.

OUR MISSION
Common Sense Reborn closes the gap between what your character [i]should[/i] be able to do and what the game lets them do. Every feature answers: "Wouldn't any person with common sense just do this?" Authentic survival, less friction, no magic or cheats.
