⚙️ Manual repair guide after game update

If the game is updated and this mod is not updated in time, it may cause overlapping text. Here are the manual repair steps:

  • **Copy files**:

Copy the `DarkestDungeon\shared\character\character.layout.darkest` file in the game directory to your workshop mod folder (for example: `Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\262060\1137190057\shared\character\`).

💡 Non-Steam version users please find the corresponding Creative Workshop module folder path by yourself.
  • **Edit File**:

Use a text editor (such as Notepad++) to open the `character.layout.darkest` file copied to the workshop folder.

  • **Modify offset value**:
  • Find the line `.positive_list_offset 100 56` under the `character_quirks_layout` section.
  • Changed `100 56` to `84 44`.
  • Find the line `.negative_list_offset 565 56`.
  • Changed `565 56` to `549 44`.
  • **Save changes**:

Save the file and close the editor.

Complete the above steps to resolve possible interface display issues.

🎯 Usage suggestions

  • **Strategic Depth**: More quirk slots mean you can develop heroes with more characteristics and expertise, but also need to manage their negative traits more carefully.
  • **LOCKED FEATURE**: Use the Locked feature to protect powerful positive quirks (like Pre-emptive Strike, Keen Gaze) or key negative quirks (if you want to preserve a roleplaying trait).
  • **Compatibility**: The author confirms that it is compatible with two major DLCs, so that you can benefit from the complete game experience.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
