Skins (replacers) animation fixes
🎮 **Please note: This is just an animation fix patch! ** If you want the full skin replacer, please download it from the original source (and then use my fix patch).

✨ Module Introduction
I have no intention of appropriating the fruits of other people's work, this is just my fix. Because, man, it feels so bad when the Crusader skin turns into a bunch of flying blocks with compressed textures mid-battle! So I decided to fix it (to be honest, I never understood why no one else did this, it only takes 20 minutes of work in Photoshop).
If some fixes already exist, then I'm sorry, I didn't find them. 😅

🔧 Repaired skin list
Here's my current fix for the skin replacer (hope the description can be edited or I'm screwed):
- **Bounty Hunter Vestal Crusader skins** - He looks like...a skeleton?
- **Arthail's Full Plate Armor Crusade** - God save my king!
- **Helmless Crusader** - Helmless Crusader, but only outside of combat.
- **White Bucket Crusader** - White...ah, wait.
- **Dark Souls II Crusader Skin** - Praise the Sun! 🌞
- **Bloodborne Highwayman Skin** - Are you ready to kill and be killed?
- **Owl leper skin** - I can't find the original source (on this site), so, sorry, creator, I don't know who you are.
**That’s all for now! **

⚠️ Important statement
I **won't** fix all my skin. If you need a specific skin fix, please let me know in a comment on the post/forum or elsewhere.

📂 Installation Guide
Hope you know how to "install" skins etc. If you don't know, oh well, here's how to install it:
Place the repair file into the skin folder of the corresponding hero (if you modify the letter identification of the skin file, for example, you change "crusader_B" to "crusader_G", then you also need to make the same modifications to the repair file):
**Installation path example:**
`*Steam/steamapps/common/where your game is installed*/Darkest Dungeon/heroes/crusader *or other heroes*/`
That's it!

💡 Usage suggestions
- Make sure you have the **Original Skin Mod** installed that you want to fix.
- This patch only solves animation display errors (such as textures turning into blocks), and does not include the skin model itself.
- It is recommended to back up the original files before installation.
Enjoy smoother, more beautiful hero animations! Hopefully this small fix will improve your Darkest Dungeon experience.
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.
