✨ **Mod Introduction**

This mod aims to rebalance multiple aspects of Darkest Dungeon and incorporate a host of quality-of-life improvements, while striving to maintain the core feel of the original game. It was originally made for my personal play and now I share it with you all.

⚠️ **IMPORTANT NOTE**: Due to the amount of content this single mod modifies, it is not compatible with most other mods. All DLC may need to be installed to work properly. It is recommended to enable all DLC when playing. Some of the changes can be viewed in screenshots or in the changelog below.
