When the MOD is installed, the simile timeline GMT dates are hidden. The mod does not affect TNG dates or events. If you have many events the numbers often overlap in the TNG timeline so the MOD has an option to hide TNG event numbers. TNG event numbers are shown in the red box below.

While it does not cause an error, it causes duplicate code. You can hide the TNG timeline event numbers using remove_tng_timeline_numbers_v12.2.0.3.
The download below contains USA timeline events stored in an events folder instead of the TNG img folder. It is easier to add and maintain timeline images when they are not lumped with TNG images.
