Non-HH users will also benefit from this, as it will also affect the name of the melody that appears on the screen when cast by HH users in your party.

There are two types of this mod: Classic and Numerical.

Classic keeps the original buff names unchanged, but shortens them. For example, the self-improvement melody

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.
