For DarkSwitch, pushing past 40 or 50 active BepInEx plugins will often cause the Unity memory heap to overflow, resulting in massive stuttering when viewing the entire 200-meter-tall tree at once. To bypass this, you must strictly curate your active mod list.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"danger\" style=\"background: radial-gradient(circle at top right, rgba(220, 38, 38, 0.1), #111827); padding: 25px; border-radius: 12px; border: 1px solid rgba(220, 38, 38, 0.3);\">\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 1.3rem; font-weight: bold; color: #fca5a5; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 15px; border-bottom: 2px solid rgba(220, 38, 38, 0.2); padding-bottom: 10px;\">The Danger of Mod Conflicts<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; color: #d1d5db;\">While graphic mods are usually safe, gameplay mods that alter citizen sanity, resource stockpiles, or core building stats can be incredibly dangerous to your save file.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0; color: #d1d5db;\">The biggest issue in DarkSwitch modding is <strong>Load Order Conflicts<\/strong>. If two mods try to change the same Solium consumption file, your game will crash to the desktop immediately. Furthermore, every time Cyber Temple releases an official hotfix, script-heavy mods break. If you load a city save file attached to a broken mod, your entire settlement can become permanently corrupted.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<section id=\"xmodhub\" style=\"background: linear-gradient(160deg, #1e1b4b, #111827); padding: 35px; border-radius: 12px; border: 1px solid #4c1d95; box-shadow: 0 10px 30px rgba(76, 29, 149, 0.2);\">\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 1.8rem; font-weight: 800; color: #c4b5fd; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 15px; text-align: center;\">The Easier Alternative to Gameplay Mods: <span style=\"color: #a855f7;\">XMODhub<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; max-width: 700px; margin: 0 auto 30px auto;\">If your main goal for modding is just to make the game more enjoyable\u2014like giving yourself infinite Solium, unlimited wood and ore, or invincible watchtowers to bypass a frustrating Shroud wave\u2014you do not need to risk breaking your city with complex mod managers.
