Ok so dumb question probably, but is there any way to install this on the switch? I have a modded switch, but obviously the file format of the mod isn't compatible with the switch on its own. Anyone know how to port this?
No idea. It's just a simple matter of overwriting files (drag this to that and allow to overwrite). But if format doesn't match, then you'd prolly need to convert this file to whatever the Switch uses first.
I would deeply appreciate if Wayward Compass, Gathering Swarm, and Grimmchild were made to be free. The first 2 are just really convenient to have while exploring, and the latter is needed for the 2 Grimm fights, meaning it takes up space I could use for a buff
The design philosophy here is not to change the fundamentals of the game. Charms cost notches, and this "forces" players to make choices. Wayward Compass and Gathering Swarm are simple examples of that. You can wander around without Compass and learn the "lay of the land" by heart (in fact, some might argue Compass is a crutch, as you come to realize in subsequent playthroughs where the map is just in your head).
Similarly, you don't need Gathering Swarm... but it's such a nice quality-of-life (especially when you're short on Geo early on)! So do you make your life easier gathering Geo at the cost of a "better" combat/mobility/utility Charm? That's the tradeoff.
As for Grimmchild... it's a pet/summon like Glowing Womb and Weaversong, so it has to keep the cost of 2. It goes way beyond being just a "handicap" on Grimm's fight!
Sorry to hear! Hollow Knight mods often directly conflict with each other. You have to pick and choose. I always considered Recharmed a "standalone" mod. It's meant to keep the overarching game experience as the dev's intended.
unable to download for some reason, was looking for some help. when i go to download the mod, all that downloads is an .rar file that opens up in Notepad. :(
I've just realized i installed it on the wrong version and now i cant launch the game. and I didn't even backup the old file, do u have the vanilla version of the file?
Any chance of adding rebalanced effects to these charms as well? Even with the cost changes some of the charm abilities are still not worth using or could use small buffs.
Agreed! But that would be more hardcoded stuff. And I also wanted to keep things pretty vanilla. The only effect I changed (reverted) was Joni's Blessing.

PS: There's a mod that makes Charms dirt-cheap here (including Compass/Swarm costing 0).
Then follow instructions in the Readme.
If you got it on GOG, assuming you have game's shortcut icon on desktop, just right click on the shortcut > Open file location
Changes only work on new save files (existing saves have charm costs already locked in at creation of save).
