That said, it would appear that the massive number of mods under the vanilla expanded series has left some elements wanting of a bit of an update, such as Shields.\r\u003Cbr>\r\u003Cbr>While there's no sense in necessarily patching every other mod out there on the workshop, it definitely has come off as a bit strange when certain items in the Vanilla Expanded series, itself, aren't compatible with Shields, despite every seeming reason to be. Having taken to one of the mod pages, myself, to ask about it, I found a whole discussion listing near every single VFE or VWE item that should be usable with shields, but are not.\r\u003Cbr>\r\u003Cbr>Frankly, I think a more mod-settings and YMMV-oriented solution, such as how Simply Sidearms handles its designations, is the more appropriate way of dealing with this issue than literally patching every single item that should be usable with it.
