⚠️ Important Notes

1. Negative Effects Can Kill You - Extreme negatives are disabled by default for a reason!
2. Effect Stacking - Applying too many effects may cause performance issues or visual clutter
3. Imbuements - Currently no imbue effects in default list (add via custom effects if needed)
4. Save Your Game - Before experimenting with negative effects!
5. Case-Sensitive Names - Custom effect names must match exactly (e.g., "Rage" not "rage")
6. Name-Based Matching - The mod uses identifier names, not numeric IDs, for reliable matching

🐛 Troubleshooting

Nothing happens when I press F9:

• Check your config file - all categories might be disabled
• Enable at least one positive category or add custom effects
• Check logs at BepInEx/LogOutput.log for errors

Only some effects applied:

• This is normal - some effects may not be applicable in certain situations
• Check debug logs to see which effects succeeded/failed
• Some effects are mutually exclusive

Too many effects applied:

• Reduce the number of enabled categories
• Use Custom Effects list for precise control

Game crashes:

• Disable "Extreme Negatives" category
• Reduce number of simultaneous effects
• Check for mod conflicts

Custom effect not working:

• Verify the identifier name is correct and case-sensitive
• Check the complete effect list
• Enable "Custom Effects" toggle in config
• For modded effects, check the mod's documentation for exact names

Remove key not working:

• Default is Numpad7 - check if key is bound elsewhere
• Change key in config if needed
• Verify you have active status effects to remove
