This was my personal mod "ready to play" archive. In the end, I decided to polish it and release.
Consider this some kind of "Nexus Digest" with me as editor, delivered with no hassle. You can even send a link to your computer-illiterate friends.

My priority was to prepare everything for one-click installation and set it up
so that it improves the game while not breaking anything.

All original mods' documentation included in 'docs' directory. Wherever
provided, that is. Everyone is listed here, anyway.

To install, just unpack in your Dark Souls directory. You may be asked
to overwrite files, confirm. Nothing is in fact overwritten, just added
content in already existing directory.

You can set your resolution in the DSFix.ini file. It's right at the start.

To uninstall, run the provided uninstall exe.
This will likely delete ALL your mods, not just this compilation.

What's there:

DSFix by Durante which makes all this possible
mousefix by lebbers, which makes DS actually playable with PC's native controller

And audiovisual mods. Only things that were sticking out like a sore thumb in the
vanilla have been changed. Not the other way around. :)
day.

ENVIRONMENT
* Vurt's flora - detailed plants from a seasoned videogame botanist
* Anor Londo better LOD by backfoggen
* Lava Eyesore Fix by Ryazard - no more blinding neon lava!
* Tree texture fixes by Renn

EQUIPMENT
* Hatyn removed magic aura from Grass Crest shield, Blue Tearstone Ring and Wolf Ring.
Never wore them before!
* Solaire's sword textures by shout4silence. Simple weapon doesn't necessarily mean ugly one.

INTERFACE
* Hi-res UI and font by backfoggen
* black keyboard buttons by taro8, they only show default keys though
* status effect icons by SilentRequiem - fitting, beautiful and practical
* Dark Souls Main Menu - Prepare to Listen edition by Dewour
...with my badass random automatic title theme switcher, yeah!
Comes with two EXEs, which are just converted .bat files so that they
can have a nice icon.
-Prepare to Listen randomly replaces the intro track each time DS is launched with it.
-Silence! restores the original...silence each time you run the game with it.

ADDITIONAL ICONS in 'DarkSouls Icons.icl'
19 icons created by Renn
+ one icon by someone known as JustCatForNexus
+ one icon by kikofakiko @ deviantart
+ two icons by ni8crawler @ deviantart
+ one icon by ElderWraith @ deviantart

That's it. The best form of Dark Souls I know of.
If you know something I should totally fix or include, let me know.
