BepInEx Dependency Softener
This patcher plugin forces BepInEx to treat configured dependencies as soft dependencies.
Sometimes mod authors mark mods as hard dependencies in their plugins, even though these dependencies are actually never used (for example mods that "depend" on config menu mods, even though they use BepInEx's built in configuration system).
Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
