Provides new art material for the interface during game dungeon exploration

virtueandtorment

🎨 **A small beautification module that I have been thinking about for a long time and finally realized it! **

In the original Darkest Dungeon, the bottom menu was flanked by mirrored skeletons with stress symbols. I always felt like this was a wasted opportunity. Just like games like Diablo display angel and demon symbols on either side of their menus, I thought this game should have a similar presentation.

✨ Design Concept

The original skull already represents "Affliction", so its opposite should be a new illustration symbolizing "Virtue". It's also another way for me to reduce the reuse of assets in my games, which has been a consistent goal in all of my work.

📦 Installation

This is a very simple mod that only modifies the vanilla assets so it can be placed lower in the load order.

🔧 Compatibility

Compatible with **almost all mods** except **those mods that modify the same menu. This includes mods that add more inventory slots.

🛠️ Patch

Since I personally use the Yet Another Inventory Expansion mod, its compatibility patch has been included. Please let my mod and its patches cover it.

**Recommended loading order:**

  • Virtue and Affliction YAIE patch
  • Virtue and Affliction (main file)
  • Yet Another Inventory Expansion

I plan to make patches for other popular inventory expansion mods as well as mods that affect this menu. Feel free to leave a message in the comment area to request specific patches!

💡 **Usage Suggestions:** Install it, let your dungeon interface say goodbye to the monotonous skeleton mirror image, and feel the eternal visual confrontation between virtue and torture!

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.
