Any mods for arachnophobia?

[Fuel]

I'm considering picking this game up for the steam sale, but I noticed there are spiders in the game, and I try to avoid those if I can. I did a brief search in the workshop for a mod to either remove or reskin them, and maybe my search terms were poor, but I couldn't find anything. Anyone know of any existing mods?

It cant be that bad...

2d enemies in a third person game? Ontop of that they are very cartoony and unrealistic looking.

Gotta see somebody about it then.. Theres too many spiders in the world for you to have THAT much fear.

It's an irrational fear. You make a lot of sense and have a completely valid perspective, but the part of my brain that tells me to be terrified doesn't care about logic. Ideally, yeah, I could work through it, but that's not realistic for me in my current place in life.
Still, I would like to play the game, but if the mods don't exist that's a bummer and I'll give up for now.

I mean dont get me wrong, spiders definitely terrify me from time to time to, but the spiders in DD just dont strike any nerve in me at all.

Dont think there are any mods that remove or retexture them on the workshop atm (though it shouldnt be hard to do). But your missing out on a damn good game if thats all thats stopping you.

I mean... If I remember correctly there is a file dedicated to the diferent monster parties, so you could in theory erase the parties that contain the spiders so they dont spawn

I think you are out of luck. Lovecraft stories are about fears and the fear of the unknown. Spiders are part of that fear.

In a game that revolves around compulsive disorders and anxieties, it's sad to see how people don't understand or manage to listen to someone trying to explain the reach of a compulsive anxiety... I hope you guys never send your heroes to the Sanitarium, Tavern or Abbey, after all, they need to deal with the fact that they will be and stay afraid.

I'll join Mr. Entropy, maybe the simplest way to do this is to erase spider-parties. In fact, there are iirc only two of them (3 and 4 bands) and these creatures never spawn with any other enemies, only in their own spider gang. So it's not even like you're losing much of the game by missing out this specific sort of antagonists either. I'd look for how to modify the enemies file.

I hope you get to play!

Spiders can spawn with maggots. Had it happen twice just today.

I can't imagine it would be that hard to make a mod that replaces the spiders with a black square or something equally benign. It doesn't have to look pretty.
