Mod guidance

[Nukem]

For my first playthrough I'd like to enhance the game as much as possible visually and with QoL stuff. I’m a total mod noob though.

I’ve gone through a bunch of articles rating mods I'd like to install, but will any of them screw with each other, or do I just load them up in any order and go? Also, do they all still serve a purpose or do they overlap anywhere?

Mod manager (first and foremost)

VISUAL MODS:

DSR 2020 Textures

Enhanced Lighting and Effects

Dark Souls Visual Overhaul

Dark Souls ReShaded

Improved Face Textures Remastered

Anor Londo Better Distance Textures

2k Estus Retexture

Dark Souls Remastered Visual Overhaul

Dark Souls Remastered 4K Ultimate Edition

Optimized Lava Eyesore Fix

Dark Souls Flora Overhaul

Andres Cranial Ember

Dark Souls HD Texture Pack

QoL MODS:

PS5 Button Interface

HD Player Messages

High-Res UI And Subtitle Fonts

Highly Visible Health Bars

DSfix

Display Soul Values

New Interface Icons Remastered

---

And as a bonus question, does the cloud save function work well between PC and Steam Deck?

There’s a source to that?

None of these are game-altering mods though and it has no form of anti-cheat so no guess I don’t know that?

search forum here for the tag "mods" or somethin. there are so many people who have problems after "modding" a game in which they say clearly in the EULA, that this is violation of the game and mechanics.

i cant say if you get banned, but might be the case.

Did what you said and indeed found some threads about this, while there are some where the response is basically "no lol" mentioning the no anti-cheat.

Seems to be a ban risk if you play online which I'm not planning on doing, so in my case it feels like it should be fine.

There is anti-cheat
The publisher has been very active banning even one use of any mod.
You do not like to hear that, so you are ignoring the advice of long time forum members
Good luck newbie

You will die, and you will get banned
Banned on PC and Deck. Nice.

Feel free to not put words in my mouth and read the actual posts gatekeeper 🙂 Also feel free to google “dark souls remastered can mods get you banned” and you’ll understand the initial confusion.

Thank you @Agathocles69 for the actual help though!
