📋 About This Mod
Description
Balatro Score Preview / 分数预览 shows a pre-play reference score for the selected hand. It is intended to show a deterministic reference value before the real scoring animation runs.
Main features
- Shows Reference: XXXXX in English, 参考值:XXXXX in Simplified Chinese, or 參考值:XXXXX in Traditional Chinese.
- Shows Reference: ???, 参考值:???, or 參考值:??? when any selected card is face-down or currently flipping.
- Updates when cards are selected.
- Uses a sandboxed scoring simulation, then restores the run state.
- Covers normal hands, scoring cards, held-card effects, Jokers, enhancements, seals, and deck final scoring steps.
- Handles vanilla Boss Blind scoring conditions in the sandbox.
- Standard SMODS probability checks are treated as not triggering during preview.
- Real play still uses normal random probability.
Important note
The preview intentionally does not predict whether probability effects will trigger. Examples include Lucky Card, Bloodstone, Space Joker, and similar SMODS probability-based effects.
When the selected cards include a face-down or flipping card, the preview intentionally shows an unknown value instead of calculating with hidden information. Face-down cards that are still in hand but not selected do not block the preview.
Requirements
- Balatro on PC
- Lovely Injector
- Steamodded / SMODS
Installation
1. Install Lovely Injector.
2. Install Steamodded / SMODS.
3. Download BalatroScorePreview-1. 2. 0.zip.
4. Extract the zip.
5. Move the BalatroScorePreview folder into %AppData%\Balatro\Mods.
Compatibility and known limits
This mod is a sandboxed preview, not a replacement for the real scoring animation. It should match vanilla and most SMODS-style deterministic scoring, but mods with external side effects, custom random logic, custom Boss Blind pre-play events, or nonstandard scoring globals may still differ.
