About this mod Author’s original text
First Skip Choice
Choose the rewards shown for skipping the Small and Big Blind.
Open Mods from Balatro's main menu, select First Skip Choice, then open Config. Each setting is saved automatically and applies when you start a new run. Set a reward to Random (vanilla) to restore normal reward generation for that Blind.
- Small/Big Blind skip reward — the reward used for that Blind's skip on Ante 1.
- Repeat every Ante — when on, the chosen reward is also used every later Ante instead of only Ante 1. When off, later Antes draw normally.
Small and Big are configured independently, so you can fix one, both, or neither.
This mod changes only the Small/Big Blind rewards. It does not alter the Skip Blind button or existing runs.
The selectors also include tags normally locked until Ante 2. Selecting one displays an in-game warning because it is not vanilla first-round behavior.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide. These mods need a community loader first — the bundled readme usually points to its download.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
