Morgana's DD Overhaul
🎯 Introduction and original intention of the module
This mod contains a pretty comprehensive set of modifications for **every hero/class**. My overhaul adjusted the hero's attributes, combat skills, camp skills, and trinkets (excluding CoM/CC trinkets).
I originally made this mod in 2020 when I realized how straightforward it was to modify Darkest Dungeon. Over the next few years I continued to tweak it as I played. Although I have only shared it with a few friends before, I now want to share it publicly in case it can be an interesting experience for others!
Considering that Darkest Dungeon is approaching its 10th birthday and already has a mature modding community with more impressive overhaul mods out there, I don't expect this mod to gain much traction. Still, if anyone decides to try it, I hope they have fun!

✨ Core Objectives
My main focus/goals when making this mod were:
- **Enhance Unpopular Skills**: Enhance those hero skills that I find myself rarely using.
- **Improve team flexibility**: Enhance the flexibility of team composition and positioning.
- **Reduce the side effects of jewelry**: Reduce the negative effects of jewelry.
While I hope I haven't gone overboard on any of the above points, this mod **does** undeniably make the game easier because I'm not buffing enemies to balance out the extra flexibility and power the mod gives the player. If you're looking for a more challenging experience, this mod won't provide it.

**Compatibility Tip**:
⚠️ **DO NOT** run this mod at the same time as other mods that modify heroes or accessories, otherwise everything will not work as expected.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- 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.
