📋 About This Mod
The Mod is still in development.
Backup your Files before Installation!
Block Dark Souls 3 in your firewall, to prevent getting banned! (This mod changes the Data0.bdt file, which is pretty much a guaranteed Insta-Ban if you are online)
What does this mod NOT do and why:
- Changing ingame descriptions
This is because the ingame descriptions are stored in another file. If I would change them, you would need to unpack DS3 files, install the other files. If you want to play with friends online, you need to uninstall the mod. So with more files, more file management, more time loss, more annoyance and so on.
So to put it simple: This is to keep the mod simple and not dependant on other mods (Specifically a program that unpacks DS3 files), so players can enjoy the mod without having ~50Gb more on their disk just for this mod.
