<h3>NOT Safe Mid-game</h3>
<h2><strong>Utilities</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li>Removed the following mods:
<ul>
<li>NVTF presets. Thanks to the new INI, switching memory pool type is now a single step during the performance guide. Recent versions of the Crash Logger also remove the need to identify the pool by checking what preset is installed.</li>
<li>Basic Console Autocomplete, not relevant to most users.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Moved KEYWORDS to the Bad Touch instructions as it's the only mod that requires it in the list.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Bug Fixes</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li>Added the following mods:
<ul>
<li>NVMIM - YUP Patch</li>
<li>Vanilla Placement Fixes</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Removed the following mods:
<ul>
<li>Improved Lighting Shaders, the bug it solves barely happens in vanilla/VNV and the NVHR removal caused it to misbehave far too often (black terrain).</li>
<li>ExRB - we chose to only include mods that have no possible performance degradation, ExRB did this in a few cells and most of the others that are covered don't show a big enough improvement.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Moved Swimming Creatures Fix - ESPless to the <b>Minor Fixes</b> section.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Gameplay</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li>Replaced Immersive Recoil 2.0 with B42 Recoil - ESPless.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Overhauls</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li>Removed Harder Barter Faster Stronger.</li>
</ul>
<h2><strong>Visuals</strong></h2>
<ul>
<li>Replaced Anniversary Anim Pack and FNV Clean Animations with New Vegas Animation Overhaul - Guns (alongside the required HIPControl).</li>
