📋 About This Mod

Hello everyone!
Since I couldn't find any up to date mods for my needs, I made it myself.
I made a little breakdown on how this stuff works and what I changed.

Still works in 1. 16. 2

Tested 15. 06. 2026


Installation:

Mod Engine 2

unzip your download and move into the Elden Ring root folder: steamapps\common\ELDEN RING\Game

there should now be the mod folder in which you can find the Lvl folder with the regulation.bin inside.

Open config_eldenring.toml with any text editor e.g. Notepad++ and add

{ enabled = true, name = "Lvl", path = "mod\\Lvl" },

so it looks like this

{ enabled = true, name = "Lvl", path = "mod\\Lvl" },

{ enabled = true, name = "SomeOtherMod", path = "mod\\SomeOtherMod" },

now double click the launchmod_eldenring.bat

Mod Engine 3

go to their help site https://me3.help/en/latest/user-guide/installation/ install it and if everything worked you should have a .me3 file and folder.

unzip your download and move the .bin file to: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\garyttierney\me3\config\profiles\eldenring-mods

then open the eldenring-default.me3 with any text editor (I use Notepad++ in the example)

and check if the path and game are correct and packages are enabled like so:

then just save and double click the me3 file


Here's a what this mod changes:

To make param edits yourself you'll need Smithbox, which is a new fork of DSMapStudio, and Mod Engine 2 or Mod Engine 3 to use the regulation.bin ingame.

UXM Unpacker & Yapped Rune Bear don't work for Elden Ring 1. 16 as I'm writing this.

Free level up:

regulation.bin:

CalcCorrectGraph:

(200) Soul Level - Souls Required:

init_inclination_soul: 0. 1 -> 0

adjustment_value: 1 -> 0

boundry_inclination_soul: 0. 02 -> 0

boundry_value: 92 -> 0

setting these values to 0 sets the otherwise exponentially increasing souls required to always be 0.

souls required default

souls required after value changes

Free Weapon upgrades:

Since there are so many changed values that all do the same I'll only show one example each.
