📋 About This Mod
MAIN INFOS :
- Need the game unpacked and patched with UXM. 99% safe for online use, I've never been banned for this kind of changes, but you can use alt account with steam family share to use mods without risking of banning your main account.
- Remove the status effects bars, and only show the status effect icons in bottom left corner so you can take mid-fights screenshots without a bleed build-up in the center of the screen.
- Original game files are included with the mod so you don't have to make a backup yourself.
- You can choose between three positions, as you can see in the images.
- Short installation guide : Open the downloaded archive, and drop the menu folder into your Dark souls 3 Game folder.
INSTALL :
- Open the downloaded archive with Winrar (or whatever).
- Select the menu folder.
- Drop it into your Dark souls 3 game folder.
- It should overwrite one existing game file, say "Yes" to Windows.
UNINSTALL (restore .bak files) :
- Delete the 01_000_fe.gfx file in game folder "menu/01_000_fe.gfx".
- Rename "menu/01_000_fe.gfx.bak" to "menu/01_000_fe.gfx".
- Windows asking if you are sure of extension change, say "Yes".
- v0. 1 : Added Top Left corner (upwards).
