It may be because I'm beginning my grouchy old man arc but it feels like I have less control over my navigation. I would like to have the dropdown filter back this looks like the Call of Duty UI or "insert video streaming platform here" I'm not saying it looks bad but I AM saying that it looks like it was designed for consoles. That being said the updated color pallet looks amazing very sleek and new age. Also I searched for hair mods on KCD2s mod page and only one mod appeared that had anything to do with hair or barbers definitely a downgrade on search algorithms. to be fair the mod I was looking for was a barber mod but still, I feel like if I would have searched "hair" in the old version I would have found what I was looking for. luckily in this instance I knew what I was looking for but if I didn't I never would have found it or it would have taken me way longer.
Edit: I took a second look and the sidebar is way better than the drop down, so my only gripe as of now is that the search function is objectively worse in my experience. Another note maybe you could make a video showing off the new features because when I saw the changes I thought I was on the wrong website and felt like I was looking at the buttons and nobs on a 50s style Si-Fi control panel or something its overwhelming for those of us with chicken breasts for brains.
