📋 About This Mod
Makes the Lands of Reed aka the starting samurai set completely black.
How to install:
Download and extract UXM
1. Unpack the game with UXM (it can take a while)
2. Click on the Patch Option while on UXM (this will make your eldenring.exe load the replaced assets)
3. Go to Elden Ring/Game/Parts and drop the content of the mod (not the folder itself) inside that folder (make a backup in case anything goes wrong.)
4. Launch the game OFFLINE and make it sure that EasyAntiCheat is disabled or you will get banned.
Note that if you have already unpacked and patched the game with UXM there is no need to do the steps 1 and 2 again.
Thank to Meowspeon for modded UXM
Thanks to TKGP for original UXM and Yapped.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Gives the starting samurai set a sleek black look—perfect for stealthy or edgy characters.
- Tiny download and install, no extra dependencies to worry about.
- Community-approved with 44 endorsements, so it's a known quantity.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in March 2022—might break with newer game patches, so check before installing.
- Only affects the starting set, so you'll outgrow it quickly unless you're into early-game fashion.
- No screenshots or detailed instructions in the description, so you're flying blind on the exact shade of black.
For players who want their starting samurai gear to look more menacing or match a darker character theme. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes or if you prefer the original look.
