Because VisuStella modifies many core aspects of RPG Maker MZ, it can be with plugins that are not explicitly designed to work alongside it. The official stance is that VisuStella does not take responsibility for compatibility patches unless they are created by the VisuStella team themselves and approved for release on their site.
