Disclaimer

Use with care and at your own risk. It is possible to get banned from games for using mods and overlays. There have been reports of people being banned from other games, such as PUBG, if overlays are accidentally left running in the background. To date, there have been no reports of players being banned from Monster Hunter: World for using mods and overlays, but that doesn't preclude it from happening in the future.
