📋 About This Mod
In the beginning, there was emptiness. . . and from this void came forth vile, from the disobedience of a single man.
His wickedness took place in the form of betray and lies, and his actions would spread a dark curse over our promised land.
A standalone add-on module for our Sands of Time: Ultimate Deadly Encounters mod.

SUMMARY:
What is It? A standalone add-on feature for our main mod (meaning our main mod is not necessary) that replaces the need for mods such as the Populated series of mods (dungeons, crypts, and caves). Our approach is unique in that rather than just "drop" in NPCs, we created an ingenious spawning system that will dynamically "inject" NPCs throughout a dungeon. These NPCs as well as their locations, are intelligently chosen so as to ensure a unique adventure each time you play through the dungeon. (For example, treasure chests will be scanned for, and if found, a unique guardian NPC may be placed to protect it.)
The mod is extremely lightweight and provides populated dungeons on the fly; this "Unleashed version of Genesis works with ALL DLC content and ALL modded dungeons as well.
For those that care to know: this feature at one point was included within the full Sands of Time (SoT) mod, but due to popular demand, we created a separate standalone module just for Genesis and gave it a mod of its own. After doing so, we hit the hotfiles almost instantly (which was awesome!). The mod then received plenty of attention which lead to more feedback coming in and more suggestions on how to expand and enhance this feature. Ultimately, the Genesis mod became more advanced than the Genesis system that was built into SoT. For simplicity sake, we have decided to divorce this feature from our main mod entirely which will allow us to upgrade it easier and also to create the various patches requested (for Monster Mod and SIC) without the need to do double work. We felt that this will be better / easier for us as well as you. So, we wish to say "thank you", to everyone that has helped us make this standalone feature into a full, and wonderfully dark mod all on its own.
As for how Genesis Unleashed came about: The original Genesis was well received and is still up and running on all platforms. SE version is here.
Lets call that version 1. 0 . To work , it used a single skull per dungeon
