By now i have already made some waves due to my last attempt at solving this issue using texture replacement. While that solution "worked" (and was very funny to develop) the truth is it was very ugly and definitely not ideal for day to day gameplay. For my second attempt i have tried to color inside the lines much more and came up with a new solution. While this is not as fool-proof as the textures thing and is a little more limited, it is also much more reasonable and fits with that you would expect from an addon.

Secondary stats make the majority of your gearing decisions but they are usually kind of confusing and for most people it isn't very clear how do guide writers come up with the specific recommendations they give besides "it's what the sim says". While it is true that this is a tool best left for the robots because it can get complicated really quickly there are still some basic rules that you can know to give you a better idea of how you should be picking stats and maybe even let you make decisions that are good for you but can be different from what someone else recommends.
