Immersive Area Backgrounds

This is a compilation of all my area rework mods and Extra Cove & Weald Backgrounds mods. The goal is to give all areas a new look to make consequent playthroughs a bit more interesting. Below are detailed the changes to all areas. Click on the area titles for a link to their standalone pages with more images.

Changes across all areas:

I highly recommend you to go to the Patches section if you have one of the following mods:
• Mods that change Crimson Court bosses' difficulty (such as Cho's mods).
• Courtyard+
• The Manor
• Pitch Black Dungeon

If you're using other mods that make changes to areas, then check this Mod Load Order & Compatibility guide to help you determine the mod load order or to see if there are mods you don't need. TLDR: The safest bet is to simply put this mod above such mods.


I either integrated or used assets from the following mods, which saved me so many hours of work. All these mods were foundational in the creation of my area mods. As always, if you don't like my mod, then I highly recommend you to check their mods, and those named in the compatibility list for a more vanilla expansion of the entire game. Please refer to the Credits section to see them.

I'd be glad to hear your feedback and consider your requests. If one of the modders listed do not want their work being used, let me know and I'll replace it. Feel free to add me if you need to privately contact me.
