About this mod Author’s original text
Smooth Dash for Romestead
A quality-of-life mobility mod for Romestead built with BepInEx 6 (.NET CoreCLR).
What Does This Mod Do?
In vanilla Romestead, dashing decelerates you to 0 and forcibly cancels your velocity upon exit, causing your character to come to an abrupt dead stop at the end of every dash.
Smooth Dash seamlessly fixes this:
- Smooth Deceleration: Gradually reduces your velocity from dash speed (~400) directly into your character's natural running (~80) or walking (~40) speed.
- Continuous Momentum: Your character glides smoothly back into standard player control without freezing or halting movement.
- Toggle On/Off: Easily toggle the mod in-game at any time using a hotkey (default F6) or terminal command.
- Configurable: Fine-tune the deceleration duration or set custom exit speeds to your preference.
Controls & Commands
In-Game Hotkey
- F6 (Default): Toggles Smooth Dash on or off on the fly. (Rebindable in configuration).
In-Game Developer Terminal Commands
Open the console (~ or \ key):
- smoothdash — Toggles the mod on/off.
- smoothdash on / smoothdash off — Explicitly enable or disable.
- smoothdash status — Prints current status and settings.
- smoothdash speed — Sets a custom exit speed (0 for automatic player walk/run speed).

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
