README

(There's a main version of Balands, as well as the option to use only select portions of the mod. Check the folder labeled "Individual Parts of Balands" if you only want to use a portion of the mod. The main Balands file "Balands - 3 - Complete Version" contains everything in said folder except "Smaller HUD", "Animation Speed Increases", "Map Defogger", "Less Legendary World Drops", "Less Legendary World Drops in Trials, Slaughters, & Takedowns", and the variants of "Dedicated Drop Source & Mayhem-Scaled Drops" such as Less Extra Drops.)

(Includes the Unofficial Community Patch's changes, so you do not need to run the Unofficial Community Patch at the same time as this mod. If you want to always have the latest version of Balands active, in the Hotfix manager "add URL" a link like this; https://raw.githubusercontent.com/BLCM/bl3mods/master/Aaron0000/Balands/Balands%20-%201%20-%20Complete%20Version.bl3hotfix)

(This mod works just fine with regular save files. Just reroll your Mayhem Modifiers after you quit using the mod if you have Mayhem Mode 1 through 10 on.)

Description (from inside mod)

(The mod's name is pronounced the same as the word "balance".)

Borderlands 3 is a good time, but there are some parts that leave room
for questioning. Certain aspects of endgame like skill, pet, and shield
damage being multiplied dozens of times over without being mentioned
in-game, the overwhelming importance of anointments, and lots of gear
requiring triple-digit buffs in order to deal with a five-digit boost to
enemy health makes it almost impossible to keep things relatively
balanced during playthroughs. And then there's the stuff that can't
even perform well at the lowest levels of play. So I've tried my hand
at putting some more balance in the Borderlands.

This mod can used with any normal save file without needing to change anything, the only thing you may need to change when you return to normal-play is your Mayhem Mode modifiers if you change them while the mod is active.
