NOTE: This mod is marked "unsupported", but I'll try my best (as time permits) to help those who have marked as installed.

Any version for vb 3.8.7 ?? please

[venom2124]

I could probably develop it for 3.8, but don't have the time to do it for free at this point.

Buddy!!
Major issue with the Mod!
I am using it on 4.1.8 and i wanted to uninstall it.

I get some weird error when i try that..The error is too big, hence i have attached a file for it.

Looking for some reasonable answer!
