Conflicts & Known Issues
– Conflicts with any mod that edits TV.xml file.
– Videos are no longer black and white on older/retro TVs.
– The video clips don’t fit all TVs perfectly due to the different aspect ratios. Some fit better than others.
– The video quality isn’t the greatest (even when uncompressed), so if anyone knows how to upscale videos, please reach out!
