Normal Mod

[g]

Is there any mod out there that makes this game a normal dating sim? I would prefer it to be completely safe. Thanks.

You're not playing DDLC anymore at that point, so you're better off playing another VN altogether. However, I have some suggestions for some good mods that stay true to the spirit of DDLC with their own unique twists on the subject.


True Literature Club
TLC is a rather short mod that aims to add endings to each of the characters. There's even a shortcut feature to blast through the 3 poem minigames with a result screen saying who Liked, Loved or Hated the poem. The game doesn't change until you get to the Weekend choice.
Monika is still self-aware, but has a valid reason for choosing not to corrupt the game which you will only achieve if you unlock her Sunday choice.
Hint: Each character must love one of your poems at least once and none of them can hate any of your poems.

The Purist Mod
If you happen to be a fan of dating sims or want a fuller DDLC story this mod adds +11 hours of additional content, custom music and delivers it's own messages of patience, trust and acceptance. This mod doesn't change much until after the Sunday choice, after which you get into deeper backstories of the characters that feature both a good ending and bad ending. While this mod doesn't go through the "second half" of the base game it doesn't ignore what had taken place and even has a few cheeky reminders sprinkled about. The mod starts in Monikas "space room" where she is not happy that you reinstalled the game and tries to delete it, but realizes her power to manipulate the game has been taken away by the mod. She reluctantly agrees to help you "save them".
While Monika chooses to help you achieve the ending you wanted behind the scenes her route is still not an option. Can you prove that happiness can be found here?

Monikas Before Story
Despite the name the mod isn't actually about Monika only. Rather, the game takes place shortly before the base game had taken place and the mod forces the story to alter in a way that the MC is the Club President, Monika is the Childhood Friend, Sayori is a close friend of Monikas while the MC tutors her in math and Natsuki and Yuri remain relatively unchanged. The MC has more personality as he's not some generic slouch, though the general beats to the base game are followed with these minor/major tweaks. Monika IS an option, but each character has their own story to tell should you pursue it.
Several times through the game it seems that the MC knows more than he's letting on, but at the same time it's more like a deja-vu dream to him. The game forcefully deletes the character files in the beginning, but if you want to dig a bit deeper there's a way to unlock a 2nd full game hidden within the files.
Hint: Don't let the mod delete the files!

I'd avoid any mods like "Blue Skies" that have too many additional OCs as that, again, strays too far from what DDLC "is" for you to not just play another VN altogether. That could just be my own bias talking, but I don't care about someones "OC™#donotsteal" when playing DDLC.
