Health Bar 2.0
Consistent redesign of health bars for all enemies, players, and bosses. Higher definition damage/drainage and condensed appearance, especially noticeable in player and boss health bars.
(requires iGP11)
Forget about the difficulty of seeing player health bars with this mod, making every health bar in the game look and feel the same.
Dark Souls 3 had a Demon's Souls inspired health bar for players and bosses, Dark Souls 2 health bars for enemies and Blood Lock. While it's safe to assume that this is actually our Lord and Miyazaki's genius meta detail to provide one last bit of fan service/homage, and to back it up with the in-game #deeplore ("Lands Converge in Lothric"), I'd much rather be able to actually see how difficult this obtuse estoc is for me and have a cohesive theme and design.
This mod sets a consistent design for all health bars in the game (red for health, white for "gray" for depletion). The vanilla game has some jarring differences, like different colors and saturations between the player and enemy bars, the self bar barely having any borders but enemies having clear borders, etc. All this is gone.

If you don't have iGP11 set up, just place these two files in the tex_override folder of iGP11. If you don't know how to install iGP11 please read this.
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.
