📋 About This Mod
Clean UI & Bloodborne Reticle Enhanced for DS2LE
This mod is an upscaled and enhanced version of Xeratone's mod Bloodborne lock-on for Clean UI (SOTFS), built for compatibility with DS2LightingEngine SotFS by Ganaboy.
I used assets from the high quality upscaled textures from fromsoftserve's Scholar of the Second Sin Texture Overhaul and spent many hours tweaking them manually in photoshop to recreate the original mods while maximizing the image quality.
This mod would not be possible without the original Clean UI mod, created by KampfKlops and ported to SOTFS by SSJetstream, and the Bloodborne Lock-on Reticle (SOTFS), originally ported by Othienka.
Note that these are large files, but they are about the same size as those in the Scholar of the Second Sin Texture Overhaul. If you are adding these on top of that, there should be no performance drop on top of this.
Installation instructions:
-
[]Install the latest version of DS2LightingEngine SotFS.
[
]Install Scholar of the Second Sin Texture Overhaul (optional, but recommended).[]Pick the version of this mod that you want to install. I have included 3 options:
Clean UI & BB Reticle Enhanced for DS2LE: Includes both of these mods together. Self explanatory.
Clean UI and Dot Reticle (No Lens Flare) Download this if you want both mods, but prefer the Dot reticle (which has NO lens flare).
Clean UI Enhanced for DS2LE - (Vanilla Reticle): Includes only the Clean UI. Use if you prefer the vanilla style reticle instead of the BB one.
BB Reticle ONLY (Standard UI): Includes only the BB Reticle (which has a lens flare), used if you want to keep the standard vanilla UI other than the targeting reticle.
Dot Reticle ONLY (Standard UI): Includes only the Dot Reticle (which has no lens flare), used if you want to keep the standard vanilla UI other than the targeting reticle.
