SkyMod: Afterbirth
Easier game, without a free win
Created 10 years ago
And it's finally here. Sorry everybody for the HUGE wait for this mod to be released, but finally I can say... Version 1.0 is out. If you don't know anything about SkyMod... Well...

---

Sometimes Isaac can be frustrating, yes. A few great mods give you the chance to make it easier by changing gameplay like:
-Adding crazy good items to Item Rooms
-Getting OP Items in every item pool
-Much less charge time for items/Infinite uses

And so on and so on... The point is, doesn't this feel like cheating? You are getting much more from the game without doing anything... How about a mod that makes having good runs much easier without making the game play by itself? Well, I won't say I managed this (because it's really hard to do), but with this mod I tried my best to make the game more fun to play.


Here's what the AFTERBIRTH version of the game will do:
-The Blue Womb now is WORTH DOING! This was something I really wanted to fix in SkyMod, I think it now makes sense to fight Hush.
-Devil Deals have a few more items in their pool, to make fun synergies more common
-Angel rooms are much stronger, ranging from one to three items (rare but possible)
-Characters who were bad now are much stronger (shouldn't be too OP compared to the REBIRTH version of the mod) to allow random streaks without bad characters
-Most spacebar items have been buffed, now many more will be useful (yes, I like using Dead Sea Scrolls now)
-Bigger item pools to have variety, but without loosing the balance I'm aiming for
-MUCH more variety in Item Rooms!
-More little tweaks to the overall experience

This Mod can work with others, just make sure you install THIS ONE last! I tried to keep the files I changed minimal.

This is version 1.2, and I still do plan to update the Mod with fixes in balance and even bigger changes. Leave a comment to leave suggestions!

Last thing: if you think "This mod is too easy!", just keep in mind that this IS supposed to be easier

THIS IS PERFECT THERE IS NO BETTER WORDS TO DESCRIBE THIS
anyway to see a full list of changes?
I wish this was available for Afterbirth+, I really wanna try it out.
I installed this mod and put it into my Resource folder and it is not working, need help
I installed this and now Judas doesn't start with Book of Belial. What gives?
try adding the item ID 34 onto the items section of judas in the players.xml file
Is there any page detailing all the changes?
how do i tell if its downloaded or not, i see no difference
This mod is better than I thought few months ago ;)
Cause this is really good mod and You should add this to Afterbirth Plus
good mod, good work, but do you think it will AB+?
Will this mod ever get AB+ Support?
Your mod is nice but I prefer harder game ;)
Will there be a mod update to Afterbirth+ ?
Что вообще в кратце дает мод?
What that mod giving to game?
nice mod.
kinda like switching from hard to normal difficulty.
btw, will there be an afterbirth plus version when it finally comes out?
I sure am planning on that. Also, might take a bit since I am planning to rework some items from scratch, doing more balance than just "changing recharge times" (of course, that wouldn't mean an overhaul of the items, just fixes while still keeping the original ideas)
хороший мод
Spider mod is invisible to me, and crashes when i enter another room after picking it up
Been at BOI:A for about a week now, making progress normally and only now I start thinking about if there are mods for this game (it's still fun without them). I'm looking forward to giving this a shot, since I do enjoy the idea of mindless fun and weird synergies.
I first played Isaac: Rebirth at a friend's house, and really enjoyed it, so I picked up Afterbirth, and was shocked to find out how much harder it is. I downloaded this mod and now I have a much better time playing. Thanks!
прикольный мод
If I want to combo this mod and Undertale Expansion, what do I need to remove from Undertale, that will not glitch or have sprites?
Just install the UT mod first and then install this mod, letting it overwrite all duplicate files.
THE BEST! IN THE WORLD!!!
GOOD MOD!
"Easier game, without a free win" Hey! Someone actually knows how make an overhaul-esqiue mod without giving every character an overpowered start.
I extracted the file to my resources folder, still nothing changes in game...
Hey, in the shops, the donation machine is just gone. Can you make it so that the donation machine isn't covered up by the reroll machine?
I only have one Thing to say: Goal of this mod accomplished. It's easier without a free win. Good Job .
I feel like maybe you should balance it a bit better. I feel like adding items to the characters makes me feel like I'm cheating and kinda makes it unfair. It's okay if you change around the pools and etc., that's fine but I feel like adding items to characters makes it so it isn't just Issac balanced to be more fun, but just another mod that adds things to make your character even stronger and etc. Maybe by balancing, you could increase the difficulty of other places like The Cathedral and hey, you don't have to take my suggestion, but I'd feel a lot more comfortable playing the mod if you decided to balance a lot more things to a point where I don't feel like I'm cheating.
Very nice mod ! But some items won't show... Any solution ?
Hey, nice mod, but seems to be unplayable for me.. I have Isaac Afterbirth @Steam newest version, just yet in my last run, crashed when I entered the devil Deal , yesterdays I entered the door to Hush and it Crashed.
I have a problem. When a chest takes me to the devil's deal room, the game crash.
Nice Mod, made an Video for it.

Why after installing the mod in my Isaac does not go pishit not responding?
I don't think the mod is working, any suggestions?
What do you mean not working? Are you seeing the same game as usual, or you think the mod doesn't do enough to make the game easier on you?
ok,so mods dont work on some computors?
You're welcome I know they're coming out very slowly, but I'm still trying to make this mod better :P
Sometimes when I enter Deal with the Devil rooms, my game just crashes. Any idea what the issue is?
Sorry everybody for taking so long fixing problems, school is killing me. I'm thinking about adding more room variety and working around with enemies' HP for the next update
my item rooms are not any better, actually i think worse and my item charge is not changed
Don't yah thing the hush fight is a little tooo easy? I mean stage one is easier than bb, you don't really need to get rid of stage two.
anyone else having issues with the restock boxes in angel rooms? they don't seem to work when putting money into them. put about 12 coins in one and it blew up without re-rolling any items once.
Can you make the Missing Poster appear in every run? I would love that because I need The Lost.
Why get rid of the actual Hush fight? I got to the blue womb and was ready for an epic fight only to 2 shot the Issac form of Hush. It was really anti-climactic and gets rid of the risk of fighting Hush and makes the reward seem overkill for the rest of the run. Especially considering that if you get to Hush in the first place(beating Mom's Heart within 30 minutes) you should already have a good run. Long story short, It needs more balance. Otherwise I like it
Ahahah Hush being removed is not planned, it's actually a bug :P I found out after releasing the mod you don't fight him anymore ahahah
Added this to my small but amazing collection! Can not WAIT to see the future yupdates! Keep up the good work!
I think I've found a bug. I was playing with The Lost, and when I entered a Devil room via the door to the room, the game stopped responding. Earlier in the same run, I found a Joker card, and that teleported me into the room just fine.
Really Cool Mod Waiting for the updates!
I downloaded this mod and put it into the resources folder after extracting and the game does not seem easier in any way or form and it's just as hard or ever. So if i did do everything right, this is not a good mod in MY opinion and no I am not a hater. I don't have beef against the creator. I did the usual modding procedures and it doesn't seem to work. So yeah.
Looks like some kind of a bad luck here. My game became considerably easier with all those remade item pools and new special rooms which now yield much more freebies.
I am not saying you are a bad modder or anything, I am just telling my experiences, Just because mine was bad, doesn't mean it can't work for anyone else. So yeah I guess i might have bad kuck
Need a fix for hush, blue womb is too easy xD
It's a cool mode, i hope for updates and more ! Great Job, PriceField.
the 6 items in cursed room are still here?

i cant dowload it and i have a copy in my steam but i cant download a mod my steam (levilol102)road2 alma pls help
(or i need to buy it or get it as a gift?)
You have to own the game on steam...
I believe there is a bug with the reroll machine in Angel Rooms. No matter how many coins you put in or times you bomb it, it doesn't do anything.
where are you suposed to copy the files? to resources or there the resources file is
Pricefield
The files need to be placed into "Resources" in the game's folder
Where are all the devil rooms? D:
Every time I enter a devil door, I crash...
I think you need to fix that.
That is very weird. Do you have any other mods installed? I play on the latest Afterbirth version with my mod installed and I had no crashes anywhere
Must have been a bug with the particular run.
The only bug I know about is Hush's fight not working as intended... Would you let me know about other problems? Thank you
Great job , thank you for updating!
why is hush replaced with blue baby?
That might be me fucking up, sorry :P I guess I deleted Hush's second form by mistake ahahah, I'll try fixing it
I've made a small modification to the blue womb zone of the mod and now everything works fine. It's really easy with the current modding tools.
BTW, when will there be a new balance patch for this nice mod? TY.
The "Basement Renovator: A New Contract" has been released less than a month ago, it lets you edit the room files
Yup, I heard about it only a while after it came out as well :P
this feels so good I can finally play blue baby without it being completely frustrating x_X THANKS!
You're welcome The Rebirth version had him start with Death's Touch as well, and I think it was way too OP as a start. Having him like it is now makes him survivable enough in my opinion
when i click the download button it wouldn't download
i need help i can't can dowload
i don't know how to dowload i opened mi TBOI but it dont dowload
Doesn't the "Download" button at the bottom of the page show up for you?
Now we will only need one "Better Characters" mod.

Owning the game on Steam is no longer required to download mods! All you need to do is login with a Steam account and you're good to go.
