:warning: NOTICE — TDS Expansion Users :warning:
If you’re using the TDS Expansion, make sure you update it today as well!

Latest Version: TDS Expansion v1.0.3
https://www.got-friends.com/pages/enhancement-mods

This update includes:

  • Sportsman Compatibility
  • Support for the new Craft Pad Options

If your Classic, Backcountry, Seafarer, or Winter variants are showing incorrect or missing Craft Pad pages/options, you probably still have the old TDS Expansion installed. The older expansion is overwriting the new Craft Pad configurations for those variants.

If you are a TDS User, before reporting any Craft Pad issues, please make sure you’re running TDS Expansion v1.0.3.

Thank you!
