Thankfully most of us are old fucks, so before it gets unbearable we'll either stop feeling heat or die from heatstroke
Shame about the kids though. |

There's a mod which enables the outlines to be seen from a distance.
And another which puts markers everywhere, though that leads to a lot of clutter. Useful though. |

You do know there are manual saves, right? And yes, you can name them whatever you want.
Quicksaves are usually limited, same for autosaves. Seems like a skill issue, git gud. |
