📋 About This Mod

This mod makes the enemies in Hard mode weak(still stronger than Normal Mode) but still keeps it challenging enough. Has Two Variants.

There is a significant jump in enemy difficulty going from Normal Mode to NG+ Hard mode, where some enemies are scaled to 400% of their Normal values, while the weapon, equipment, skills, etc. scaling is pretty linear. Although there are other mods that do similar things; i.e., make the hard mode easier, for me, I found those still very easy. This Mod comes in two three variants, which make the enemies weaker than the default hard mode but still stronger than the normal mode; establishing a middle ground for scaling.

Credit Goes to Debolito's mod Harder Normal Mode for inspiration.

This Mod comes in Two variants Three Variants 1/3rd variant, halved variant and Attack Halved variant (Install only one of the mods).

1/3rd variant makes the scaling 1/3rd of the game's Hard Values; i.e. where the scaling was supposed to be 300, mod makes it 100.

Halved variant makes the scaling 1/2th of the game's Hard Values; i.e. where the scaling was supposed to be 300, mod makes it 150.

NEW

Attack Halved variant makes only the attack value scaling 1/2th of the game's Hard Values; i.e. where the HP/Shield scaling was 300, it remains 300; but where the attack power scaling was supposed to be 300, mod makes it 150. This makes fights last longer as the enemy HP + Shield is properly scaled and the player does not die in less hits as the attack powers are scaled down.

Upcoming Changes

  • []Make a mod where the boss values are similar to attack halved variant but the smaller enemies are not, making it easier to roam in world and still keeping boss fights engaging(as soon as I figure out which stat controls mobs and which controls boss, i will do this).

    []Make a attack 1/3rd variant similar to attack halved variant.

    Compatibility:

    This mod modifies the file DifficultyStatGroupTable.uasset. This mod will conflict with any other file which modifies the same Table.

    Installation:

    Use only one of the two options. DON'T use ALL The Variants.

    - Drop the unzipped files inside 'gamefolder'\SB\Content\Paks\~mods.

    If you find this challenging, try Debolito's mod Harder Normal Mode which is easier.
