(Please tell me if such a mod already exists but for the life of me I couldn't find it if it does)
So basically I have severe arachnophobia which is a problem when you need to go through deepnest. Hence, a mod idea that modifies spider sprites.
In terms of priorities:
- Removing the foreground spider animations. These are the worst trigger because you can't kill them and they're so random
- Modifying enemy sprites so that they don't have legs. Deeplings and Deephunters are mostly fine due to their small size but Little Weavers are a nightmare, with the way they appear from the foreground
- Other enemies outside of deepnest that would also benefit from the lack of legs would be Lesser Mawleks and Loodles, but these are mild triggers
- Weaversong is optional because you can just avoid the trigger by not equiping the charm, however I thought I'd mention it to be comprehensive
Stuff that is fine:
- Spiderwebs
- Trap bench
- Stalking Devouts
- Nosk
Not sure if Corpse Creepers are triggers or just horrifying in their own right, so I don't know what to do about them. Also never made it to Midwife, but judging from the sprites it's fine.
In summary, the goal isn't to make deepnest less terrifying in general but to tweak it just enough to make it possible without having your eyes shut most of the time
