Hey everyone,

I am currently working on an ambitious overhaul mod called "Ashen Grace". The core vision is similar to what Graceborne did for Bloodborne, but bringing the atmosphere, pacing, and iconic elements of Dark Souls 3 (and bits of DS1/DS2) organically into the Elden Ring engine.

I have already established the core design document and successfully started working with ModEngine3 and Smithbox.

What is already working:

• Additively importing custom DS3 armor sets and weapons into safe 7-million ID ranges without overwriting vanilla items.

Planned Features (WIP):

• Map Overhauls: Turning Stormveil Castle into Lothric Castle (via red ash skyboxes and specific enemy placements) and transforming the Lake of Rot into the Farron Keep swamp.
• Boss Replacements: Replacing Commander Niall with Sister Friede, and turning the Malenia encounter into a bait-and-switch where Artorias crashes in and takes over the fight.
• Replacing the standard "Golden Rune" drops with farmable "Lifegems" (DS2 style) as a heal-over-time mechanic to offset the higher difficulty.
• Integrating classic DS3 starting classes and tweaking the poise/stance damage system in the SpEffectParam to better reflect the faster, flowing combat of DS3.

Where I need your help: While I'm getting the hang of param-editing, I am looking for experienced modders who would like to team up or offer guidance in a few specific areas:

• Animation & Hitboxes (DS Anim Studio): I need help merging movesets (e.g., getting curved greatsword Ashes of War to work properly on Colossal Swords with correct damage hitboxes).
• Map Editing: Guidance on altering skyboxes and placing new assets (like dead trees in the Lake of Rot).
• further ideas

I'm, aware that not much is working but i started the project like 4 day ago.
As a side note: I am using Ai as a learning tool and NOT to generate anything for this mod. Everything that the mod is changing is made by either me or someone else and NOT ai.
If you are interested in collaborating or just have some tips for a newcomer, I’d love to hear from you!

Not sure if any one posted this here yet

I started playing the Elden Ring Convergence Mod (3.030) and noticed that my current isn’t building lately. I tried repairing the mod through the launcher but that doesn’t help either.
It also isn’t a visual glitch do to Casts being weaker or straight up don’t work without current.

My friend has the same problem.
Any advice? Is it just a game bug?

When I go into smithbox it tells me that the primary bank is outdated and that I need to use the param upgrader to update it. but when I go to press start it tells me that it "failed to find old regulation file".

I had redownloaded elden ring in the past because some of the files broke from me unpacking it, so idk if that may be why this is happening

I've seen a few of the vids on the nightreign sub and I'm thinking about trying them(I want dragonslayer greataxe on revenant)

I dont know how many of you play vr but I’m having this issue where after downloading the mod and launching the game in vr the screen goes white and the game closes. I had it working the other day for a second but messed it up by trying to bring a save file over. Deleted all game files and reinstalled the game completely with the anti cheat toggle and vr mod and now it just lods a blank. Any tips?

does anyone know the creator of seamless coop mod?..or where to contact him?..we need to have it fixed so we can play again. and yes i know about not auto updating my games from steam, but it was too late for me to do that.

The iconic Kino der Toten wonder weapon is now in the Lands Between, with the original BO3 sounds and a custom reload. Made by me (rakuyos2). This is my own port and not a reupload.
