Better Icons 2022 - TIERS
This is a new version of my mod 'Better Icons 2020 v2. 0 - TIERS' for v4. 0+ (Next-Gen) game version.
INSTALL:
- Uncompress and drop the modBetterIcons2022TIERS_Vanilla file inside your "Mods" folder.
- If you have another mod installed that modifies the files:
gameplay\abilities\effects.xml
gameplay\abilities_plus\effects.xml
gameplay\abilities\effects_potions.xml
gameplay\abilities_plus\effects_potions.xml
gameplay\items\def_item_alchemy_petards.xml
gameplay\items_plus\def_item_alchemy_petards.xml
gameplay\items\def_item_alchemy_potion.xml
gameplay\items_plus\def_item_alchemy_potion.xml
...then you'll have to merge them. Be sure to choose:
icon_path="icons/inventory/ingredients/alchemy/village-drink-64x64.png
icon_path="icons/inventory/ingredients/alchemy/pop-mold-antidote-64x64.png
icon_path="icons/inventory/ingredients/alchemy/reinalds-philtre-quest-64x64.png
icon_path="icons/inventory/ingredients/alchemy/reinalds-philtre-potion-64x64.png
OPTIONAL FILE 'NO QUALITY COLORS':
- Install the optional file 'mod_00BetterIcons2022NoQualityColors' if you want to remove the quality colors in the icons background so you can better identify the items tiers with the glow effect from this mod. The colors are only removed in petards, bombs, and decoctions in the inventory menu, and in all items in the alchemy menu (if you want to remove the quality colors only in the inventory menu just remove the 'scripts' folder from the optional file).
- You have to merge both (main mod file and optional file) with script merger, just choose the text from 'mod_00BetterIcons2022NoQualityColors' and it will be fine.
- This file is suitable for TIERS and TIERS Ard Bombs main mod files.
INSTALL ARD BOMBS VERSION:
- You have to install the original Ard bombs mod (Next-Gen version) before installing my mod.
- Download and uncompress the 'mod_0BetterIcons2022TIERS_Vanilla_ArdBombs' inside "Mods" folder.
- If you have another mod installed that modifies the files:
gameplay\abilities\effects.xml
gameplay\abilities_plus\effects.xml
gameplay\abilities\effects_potions.xml
gameplay\abilities_plus\effects_potions.xml

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 224 endorsements and 34k downloads – clearly a go-to for icon overhauls.
- Tiered icons make sorting loot way easier – no more squinting at similar-looking items.
- Updated recently (June 2024) so it should work with the latest Next-Gen patch.
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers icons – if you wanted a full UI overhaul, this won't touch menus or fonts.
- No screenshots or install instructions provided – you'll have to figure out the setup yourself.
For players who want a cleaner, more intuitive inventory without overhauling the entire UI. If you're tired of confusing item icons and want quick visual tiers, this is for you. Skip if you're looking for a complete UI makeover – this only touches icons.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a UI mod, make sure to back up your original icons folder before replacing – just in case you want to revert.
- Check if the mod requires a specific game version – it's for Next-Gen, so ensure your game is updated to the latest patch.
- If you use other UI mods, test for conflicts – icon mods can clash with other overhauls.
