📋 About This Mod
Enhances the SFF text
Update 10/22/2024
not actively supported, no plans to continue
This mod has largely been succeeded/replaced by other mods:
- LPC's More Bestiary Pages
- Shrimpman's Descriptive Inventory for SFF
- Xeavin's Thrifty and Itemized Bazaar.
(Also has been called SFF Text Changes or SFF Plus or some variant)
A text edit mod across the bazaar's loot and recipes, also with edits to abilities, licenses, items, equipments etc. More flavor, information, or hard numbers are added/appended.
Installation
Install via Vortex. The External File Loader (EFL) should be prompted when doing this. The EFL is neccessary as it allows Vortex to easily deploy files without having to use tools to modify the .vbf file itself (the main game file)

As it is a FOMOD some files can be exclusively selected allowing some customization. However, the files in battle_pack.bin cannot be individualized.
The following files are edited:

Indicates which tier the weapon is on (e.g. Iron Sword is 1-1, Magepower Shishak is 6-2)
09_Bazaar_Item_Name.bin | Bazaar
A few Bazaar recipe titles have been renamed to avoid confusion (Silver Bow for example). The Monograph and Magick Shard recipes have more information. Repeatable Bazaar recipes have asterisks around their name, eg Magick Shards: Holy
