📋 About This Mod

Display or remove your swarm whenever you want with a simple toggle.

I finally got myself onto Patch 8 and it's wild out here. Oh, you like photo mode, do you? How about WITH PERMANENT BEES??? While (very) funny, I quickly decided a little modding was in order to help our poor swarmkeepers stop the worst photobombing of all time.

This mod affects the Swarmkeeper Ranger's Gathered Swarm passives, including:

  • []Cloud of Jellyfish

    []Flurry of Moths

  • Legion of Bees

The visual and sound effects of the swarm are controlled by a new passive—turn them on and off whenever you want with a hotbar toggle! Includes full language support (because I shamelessly repurposed existing text) and custom icons. The passives themselves will still function normally in gameplay, BUT: you could have compatibility issues with other mods. Please see the Compatibility section for more info.

Looking for a simple VFX remover instead? Try this one:

→ Remove Swarmkeeper VFX by auracrest

(Default is toggled on. Because BEES!!!!!!!!!!!!)

⭐HOW TO INSTALL⭐

Comes in a pak file. Place in your Mods folder. Export to the game with your mod manager of choice. (I recommend BG3MM.) For load order info, please see the Compatibility section.

⚠️ Don't see the toggle on your Swarmkeeper Ranger? You need to respec or level up first! This will refresh their passives.

For manual installation:

<node id="ModuleShortDesc">

<attribute id="Folder" type="LSString" value="robogena_ToggleSwarmkeeperFX"/>

<attribute id="MD5" type="LSString" value=""/>

<attribute id="Name" type="LSString" value="Toggle Swarmkeeper Effects"/>

<attribute id="PublishHandle" type="uint64" value="0"/>

<attribute id="UUID" type="guid" value="8c28a068-4338-42b0-8aec-11995d4d1173"/>

<attribute id="Version64" type="int64" value="36028797018963968"/>

</node>

⭐UNINSTALLING⭐

Custom passives and statuses make the game cranky when it can't find them anymore—say, because you've deleted the mod. Before uninstalling this mod, respec your swarmkeepers to a different class first or use Mod Uninstaller.

⭐COMPATIBILITY⭐

This mod is a little different from my other effect removers. The SWARMKEEPER_JELLYFISH, SWARMKEEPER_MOTH, and SWARMKEEPER_BEE stasuses now apply an additional custom passive that handles the visual and sound effects. If you're using another mod that edits these statuses, you're generally safe if you load mine last. If that other mod also happens to change the passive section, well, they just won't work together, regardless of load order, and you would need a compatibility patch.
