About this mod

Replaces all the spiders with trolls (Early Beta version)

Permissions and credits
Spiders 2 Trolls. (Note this is an early beta, see the "Known Issues" for more info)

Created by MrEsturk
Version 0.5

Converts the all the game's spiders into trolls for all those folks with nasty spider phobias. (Note this is an early beta, see the "Known Issues" for more info)

FEATURES:

- Should replace all spiders in the game.

- Replaces the models instead of a complicated, messy edit of all the game's monster and quest databases.

- The new trolls have their own palettes to set them apart from the normal game trolls.

- compatible with existing save files.

INSTALLATION:

Open the folder of any part of this mod you wish to use. Install that part's /public folder into Divinity's /data folder. Normally /data would be located at:

/Program Files (x86)/Steam/SteamApps/common/Divinity - Original Sin/data

WARNING: Do not place the files in /Documents/Larian Studios/mods as it won't work there.

TO UNINSTALL:

You'll have to open Divinity's /data/public/assests folder, find the files this mod uses and delete them. I wish there was a cleaner method, sorry. You can safely delete the /assests folder for a full wipe of this mod, although that may also erase other texture and model mods you've installed.

KNOWN ISSUES:

- This is an early beta. So far only the model swap is complete. The trolls are still called spiders, use the spider sfx, and spider portraits. I have mainly released this mod in such an early state as its resources may be helpful to others making similar mods.

- This mod cannot be toggled on/off from the mod menu, due to Divinity not currently supporting true stand alone mods that overwrite existing content. It functions like an overwrite of the main module.

- Haven't tested the boss spiders yet. The replacement trolls may end up oddly scaled.

PERMISSIONS:

- Do anything you wish with this mod. Feel build a completed version, I'll be trying to complete it myself but would be totally ok if someone more dedicated to its concept makes a complete build first

WHY TROLLS? WHY NOT WOLVES/BOARS/COWS/ETC?:

- The spiders use a rather small scaling. Thus using the wolf model would have looked like puppies: not trying to make a puppy killer mod :P And as hilarious as the concept of being attacked by venomous miniature cows would be I was going for something a bit more serious/immersion friendly (Though I will make a cow version if enough people request it :P).

ADDITIONAL CREDITS:

-The Larian Forums: For requesting a mod like this.

-Skyrim: For showing how popular spider removal mods are (Quite a potent phobia it seems :P)
