"South Park: The Fractured But Whole - Final Mix"
Gameplay Overhaul Mod


This mod makes major changes to South Park: The Fractured But Whole!

What is the goal of the mod?

The mod is designed to improve the game and give a new gameplay experience for The Fractured But Whole.

What is changed? (Gameplay)


One of the main goals of the mod is to make the game more challenging, even on Diabolic the game is still too easy because of nonsensical balancing decisions by the developers.


The changes to gameplay are:

  • Powers: Powers are rebalanced for many characters incuding The New Kid and Allies
  • Mintberry Crunch: Bradley will not be able to spam invincibility
  • Items: Consumable items are rebalanced so they all have a purpose and are usefull in post game
  • Immunities: Characters have immunities updated
  • Status Effects: Some effects are changed and new variants are added
  • Action Plus: The minigames for getting Critical Hits are removed from many powers; 1 power per class/buddy has Action Plus.
- This stops the player from always being overcharged
- Reduces constant pressing of the confirm button
- Adds variety to the powers
  • AI: The AI is updated:
- It can use more powers
- Logic for how the AI uses its powers is improved and fixed
- Some characters have an extra power added or restored
- Broken powers are fixed so the AI can use them properly (Example: Toolshed)
- You cannot mess with Morgan Freeman
- Enemy superheroes have their full potential
  • Summons: Mechanics for the player's summoned characters are changed
- Backstory You and Chaos Mexican do not expire after 3 turns and can be revived when knocked out
- Turrets don't self-destruct after 3 turns, but will still disappear when defeated. If kept alive, multiple can be placed
- Backstory You has his own unique powers instead of being a duplicate New Kid with backstory clothes

There are also some general changes to the game:

  • Bug fixing (where possible)
  • Reimplementing unused content
  • Viewable Doctor Timothy Character Sheet
  • The original Netherborn's powers are restored
  • The Mystic's powers are modified to be in a usable state (For if you use my Power Swap Cheat Table)
  • HUD elements are changed

What is changed? (Danger Deck)

Before Version 23, this mod had custom Danger Deck challenges that replaced existing the existing ones
This had multiple issues so with Version 23 the Danger Deck challenges are reverted back to normal but are made tougher than in the normal game

Changes to the Danger Deck are:

  • Enemies are tougher than before!
  • Unused characters are restored!
  • Some Ultra Modifiers are changed!
  • New opponents can be found in some of the challenges!
  • Opponents aren't muted!

F.A.Q.

Does the mod support other languages?
Because of the current restrictions in modding this game, some text changes only affect the English language
You can still play in other languages but the text will be incorrect in some situations
Does the mod work on all store versions?
This mod is made and tested on the Steam version of the game
If you have it from somewhere else (Epic Games, Ubisoft) the mod should work but i can't test it myself to verify
Can I install the mod on PlayStation/Xbox/Switch?
Maybe if your system is jailbroken, but i can't test this myself

Known Issues
New Game +
It's possible that after going back to the regular game after playing this mod that New Game + DLC content resets.
This means that when creating a new game and opening the toy chest, you won't receive bonus items like 50 Haunted Revives, recipes, Artifacts and outfits. Also Netherborn and Final Girl won't be available as your starting class.
But you can replay the DLC's to reobtain them and get them as New Game + rewards again.
I don't know what causes this.
