Modding (short for modifications) are anything that changes Darkest Dungeon's game content from what it originally was.

  • 2Types of mods

Purpose[edit | edit source]

With the announcement [1] from the devs that '...official modding support is coming! We can’t wait to see what the community comes up with...' we're excited to have a platform where people can share explore guides and tutorials on the best mods and modding for Darkest Dungeon.

Most mods and modding add content to the game to alter gameplay, change the creative feel, or give the player more options in how they interact with the Darkest Dungeon world. It will soon be seen how some mods/modding may be bigger expansions, or if others simply add more settings and options to optimize speed, graphics, or gameplay of the game.

Ideally, the creator of a mod updates the mod whenever the game updates - bringing more content, bug fixes, or optimizations. Otherwise, the mod may not work with a newer version.

Types of mods[edit | edit source]

New Class Mods[edit | edit source]

By far the most popular type of mod. New class mods are mods adding to the game non-vanilla playable characters recruitable from the Stage Coach or town events. Other such mods make alterations to already existing characters (whether vanilla classes or modded classes).

Texture Mods[edit | edit source]

Texture mods are adding to the game more available textures for various characters or objects. Most often creators of those mods are making custom skins for playable characters or NPCs in The Hamlet.

Town Events Mods[edit | edit source]

Mods, that either add or modify already existing town events. They can also, but less often be the mods, that remove certain town events from the save file, unless a mod responsible for it is disabled.

Location Mods[edit | edit source]

Mods, that edit existing locations.

Enemies Mods[edit | edit source]

Mods, that either modify, add or remove enemies encountered in the game.

Inventory Mods[edit | edit source]

Mods, that are changing logistics of player's inventory. Mods, that change stacking of items are items mods.

Items Mods[edit | edit source]

Mods, that edit items behavior, add new items or remove items.

Bugs[edit | edit source]

Note that if you install a mod, it may stop the game from working properly. If you encounter a problem while using mods and want to report it, first remove all of your mods to see if the problem still happens, as in the future some of the mods might conflict with each other. If the problem continues to happen, please notify the developer of the mod. Otherwise, try to reproduce the problem with the fewest possible number of mods, and then report the problem to the author() of those mods.

Darkest Dungeon How To Install Skin Mods

Hello and welcome everyone to this (hopefully) short and semi-informative guide. In this guide I'll be showing you how to edit hero stats (i.e. change the crusader's damage from 5 to 500 or something crazy like that and make your game less unbearable. Let's get right into it.

Finding the Game Files to Edit


Here you'll be looking for the game file.
So first off you're going to want to go into the game's folder, so go into the main game file,
(Local Disk (C:) > Program Files (x86) > Steam > steamapps > common > DarkestDungeon ). Now select the 'heroes' folder.
Here you can see all of the hero files. For this guide we will be changing up the crusader a little bit.
You'll also be glad to know that this method works for ALL of the hero files.

Editing the Game Files


Now that we've found the files lets dive right into it! Select the 'crusader.info.darkest' file, from here you'll need notepad++ to edit the file.
But first make sure to copy the original file somewhere on your computer!Copy and paste the original info.darkest file somewhere, anywhere on your PC.
I recommend creating another folder on your desktop, and copypasting the original file into it.This is so that should you want to make the game normal again, you can simply move and replace the original over the edited one.
Now that you've copied the original file, it's time to get into changing the game! Here's where you need Notepad++. Right-click on the .info.darkest file and select the 'edit with Notepad++ ' option.
Once you're in you'll be met with this beautiful T H I C C chunk of text, but don't be intimidated.
The reason why there are a lot of repeats is because of leveling. The first lines of each section represent the hero at, say, level 0. And then it scales upwards (i.e. lvl 2, lvl 3, lvl4, lvl5, etc.).
I've gone and highlighted the different sections in red for you in hopes that things might be easier. Anyway, moving on:
So if you want to change up the damage your character deals, simply go to the first section highlighted, and change the '.dmg 6 12' to '.dmg x x'
x being any number you want. The reason there are two numbers is so that the damage varies (e.g. your character hits stuff with a damage of 6-12.). If you don't want to vary damage, simply double the digits, for example: '.dmg 500 500'.
WARNING: Spacing is SUPER important, so make sure all of your spaces are correct!

For attack and defense percentages, they essentially act as mulitpliers for stats. Play around with them, the higher the percentage (you can go over 100% if you want) the stronger the damage!
The .dmg -50% means that the damage your character ability deals will be reduced by 50%, so if you don't want a reduction put it to 0%. Or possibly increase it... Although I would not recommend that as I personally have not tried it.
If you want to change where the heroes can hit, simply edit the '.launch' and '.target' numbers to '4321' and '1234' or whatever you want it to be.

Darkest Dungeon Nexus Mod

The numbers represent the position the characters can be in in order to use their abilities. So by changing combat skill smite's '.launch' to 4321, it will allow the crusader to be in any position to use that ability.

Darkest Dungeon Workshop


For .targets, the '~' sign is the multiple strike capability. So by adding '~1234' to an ability, you're allowing the hero to be able to strike all 4 enemies with the ability.
WARNING: Once again, ORDER IS IMPORTANT. Do NOT change .launch and .target's ordering around (Keep .launch's '4321' like that, and .target's '1234' just like that) otherwise you will jack your game up.

Now that you've edited your files, save it (file > save) and you're set! Exit the editor and play the game! It should work instantly so there's no need to start a new game.
