EDIT:Updated, redownload using the link supplied below.
Mod should remove most effects unique to puppets. Generic effects such as dust clouds or hit marks should remain though. Should reduce a good bit of lag for some people.
There's been a few dozen views and at least a dozen downloads. I've done a couple runs with puppet users. I've not noticed any significant lag or other problems with the puppets. There has been no feedback from others on this mod either. I'm going to go ahead and say the testing phase is over.
