No Forest Falling Trees
A lightweight BepInEx mod for SULFUR that removes the sudden falling-tree jumpscare from Forest Ambush events without reducing encounter difficulty.
What This Mod Does
This mod disables the visual and audio parts of the Forest Ambush falling-tree scare.
It targets Forest Ambush events such as:
Event_Forest_Ambush1
Event_Forest_Ambush2
Event_Forest_Ambush3
Inside those events, the mod neutralizes the falling-tree presentation by disabling:
Contents/Animator
Contents/AudioSource
Contents/Tree*
Contents/Particles
What This Mod Does NOT Do
This mod does not remove Forest Ambush encounters entirely.
It does not disable:
Trigger
TriggerSpawner
NavMeshAnchor
It also does not remove:
Abomination
Ghost scare events
Normal enemy spawns
Ambush spawn logic
The purpose is to remove the sudden falling-tree scare while keeping the actual gameplay challenge intact.
Why
Some Forest Ambush events use sudden falling trees as a jumpscare.
This mod removes that specific scare presentation while preserving enemy encounters and normal difficulty.
