📋 About This Mod

Complex sanity system that dynamically reacts to in-game events.

Mental Stability System is a relatively complex mod that introduces a Sanity mechanic into the game. Various in-game events and factors will affect the player's sanity, both positively and negatively. Once your sanity worsens beyond a certain threshold, you will start hearing voices and other auditory hallucinations. The voices will sometimes talk nonsense, but other times they will be directly talking to you or reacting to your actions and other things happening in game. The worse your sanity gets, the more intense, aggressive and frequent the voices become. That's the basic idea, anyway. But if you want to know more, keep reading this description. There's also a thorough guide talking about pretty much every feature of this mod in the Articles section. It's not necessary to read it to understand the Mental Stability System, because I'd say pretty much everything in this mod is intuitive, but it's still usefull if you want to know the details of how the system works.

  • []The Voices - As mentioned above, you will start hearing voices when your sanity gets bad enough. There are basically 3 main voices that you will be hearing (with some others chiming in here and there) with almost 300 unique voice lines. And all of them are voiced by real voice actors that I hired specifically for this mod, no AI was used.

    []Sounds - Alongside the voices, you will also sometimes be hearing various creepy sound effects. There are around 90 unqiue sound effects in total.

    []Antipsychotics - This mod also introduces a new aid item called Antipsychotics. As the name suggests, it is there to help you manage your degrading sanity and keep the voices silent. They come with scripted LL integration and are craftable.

    []DLC included - The mod was made with all DLCs in mind, so the voices will also be reacting to events in all main DLCs.

    []Customizable - Almost every feature can be turned on/off or at least customized in some way. All of these options can be found in the config file called "MentalStabilitySystem.ini"

    []Simple sanity indicators - There are basically 4 mental states and each of them has a perk and a actor effect (comes with a debuff to SPECIAL stats, can be turned off), so you can always easily check what your current sanity is. There will also be a corner message every time your mental state changes.
