virtue no longer cures stress
🎮 **A mod designed to balance the game's stress mechanics so that virtues and negative traits are consistent in their stress effects! **
✨ Module function
In the original game, when a hero gained **Virtue**, his stress value would immediately drop to **45**. However, when acquiring **negative traits**, the stress value will remain at **100 points**. This mod removes the stress reduction effect of virtues and makes them consistent with negative traits - after acquiring virtues, the hero's stress value will also remain at **100 points**.
⚖️ Design Concept
I think the stress reduction effect of Virtue in the original version was too strong, especially when resource management was such a core part of the gameplay. This acts as a huge extra pressure buffer for your hero.
- **Keeping stress management challenging**: In the original version, it was almost impossible for a hero with virtue to reach the 200-point stress limit, which made the virtue result almost equivalent to **stress immunity** in later adventures.
- **Make virtues and negative traits equal**: Through this change, virtues and negative traits will be on the same starting line at the pressure level, and virtues are no longer a "free pass".
- **Increase game depth**: In rare cases, you may see a virtuous hero's pressure value exceed 200 points, which adds new variables and strategic considerations to the game.
🔧 Installation and Compatibility
**Installation method**:
Just unzip the file into your `mods/` folder.
⚠️ **Compatibility Note**:
Not compatible with any other mod that modifies the `rules.json` file.

💡 **Usage Suggestions**:
If you thought the stress management in the original game was too simplistic, or wish the benefits of virtue were less decisive, then this mod is for you! It will force you to put more thought into stress management, making every adventure challenging.
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.
