Update Log (2023)
January
- 13.01.2023 Moved the entire wall-of-text that was the update log of 2022 into a Pastebin link. Also merged the past logs under the same section
- 22.01.2023 Added "Better Palico AI" under Honorable Mentions (Cont. Pt. 3)
- 24.01.2023 Added "Easy-to-hear QUEST ACCEPT sound" and "Mute Palico Coral Horn in My House" under Visual and Sound Mods (Cont.) ᵃⁿᵈ ʳᵃⁿ ᵒᵘᵗ ᵒᶠ ˢᵖᵃᶜᵉ ˡᵒˡ
- 27.01.2023 Created "Visual and Sound Mods (Cont. Pt. 2)" and added "Optimized Bow Charge Effect Color for Beginners RGB" under it. Replaced "Lower Height for Close Camera" with "Camera Distance Change for Iceborne" under Honorable Mentions (Cont. Pt. 1).

February
- 16.02.2023 Added "Charms Unlocked and Free" under "Cheaty Mods (Cont.)"
- 23.02.2023 Fixed a bunch of typos and added a clarification for some things here and there

March
- 01.03.2023 Added "No Waist Lights" and "No Player Light" under Visual and Sound Mods (Cont. Pt. 2). Also got the brilliant idea of making separate unlisted guides for past update logs for ease of access ʷʰʸ ᵈᶦᵈⁿ'ᵗ ᴵ ᵗʰᶦⁿᵏ ᵒᶠ ᵗʰᶦˢ ᵇᵉᶠᵒʳᵉ. Original formatting is visible in them and you no longer have to go through Steam's confirmation (or turn a VPN on for Pastebin in some cases) to access them anymore.
- 18.03.2023 Added "All Monster Drops Increased" under Cheaty Mods (Cont.)
- 22.03.2023 Added "Permanent LRHR Special Arena Iceborne Update" under Custom Quests. Moved "-MHG- Custom Quest Pack" at the top of the list under the same section, since it's basically the best custom quest mod out there ᵃᵇᵒᵘᵗ ᵗᶦᵐᵉ
- 23.03.2023 Fiddled with Troubleshooting. Increased clarity and humor factor.

April
- 01.04.2023 Uploaded an important update video about the future of this guide. Make sure to check it out ʷᵉ ᵈᵒ ᵃ ˡᶦᵗᵗˡᵉ ᵗʳᵒˡˡᶦⁿᵍ
- 09.04.2023 Not much happening lately, but life's going fairly well. Adjusted Credits and Closing Notes a little. Added two ways for people to donate if they really liked my work and would like to support me. You can find the details under the same section. Many thanks in advance if you decide to support me!

May
- 18.05.2023 Added "No Waist Lights and No Knives" under Visual and Sound Mods (Cont. Pt. 2)
- 22.05.2023 Created "Cheaty Mods (Cont. Pt. 2)" ᵈᵃᵐᵐᶦᵗ ᴵ ʳᵃⁿ ᵒᵘᵗ ᵒᶠ ˢᵖᵃᶜᵉ ʸᵉᵗ ᵃᵍᵃᶦⁿ and added "QoL Fast Travel" under it
- 28.05.2023 Added "Critical EFX Colors" under Visual and Sound Mods (Cont. Pt. 2). Moved "More Wedge Beetles (Iceborne Edition)" from Honorable Mentions to Cheaty Mods (Cont. Pt. 2) because turns out it probably didn't belong there to begin with

June
- 11.06.2023 Added "Easier to See Slinger Ammo Gathering Spots" under Honorable Mentions (Cont. Pt. 3)
- 28.06.2023 Changed a few things under Credits and Closing Notes related to donations. You can now donate through "Buy Me A Coffee" instead of Wise.
- 29.06.2023 Added "Realistic LUT - Not Need ReShade" under Visual and Sound Mods (Cont. Pt. 2)

July
- 31.07.2023 Nothing of note this month. I admit, this is a first since the dawn of this guide. Never thought we'd see a day like this. Genuinely unprecedented.

August
- 13.08.2023 Added "Better Skill Descriptions (English)" under Honorable Mentions (Cont. Pt. 3)
- 15.08.2023 Created the section "Mod List for New Hunters"

September
- 01.09.2023 Nothing new. Yet. On another note, it's my month again, fellas.
- 09.09.2023 Added "Muted IG Triple Up Attack SFX" under Visual and Sound Mods (Cont. Pt. 2). Also added "Remove Monster Roar Blur" under Honorable Mentions (Cont. Pt. 3)
- 10.09.2023 Added "No More Fest Music in Astera Gathering Hub (Remove Festival Music)" under Visual and Sound Mods (Cont. Pt. 2)

October
- 04.10.2023 Nothing worth mentioning, yet.
- 07.10.2023 Overhauled Introduction and added new information. It should be a better read overall, but I think it may have gotten a bit longer. I hope the lovely attention-deficit folks in my audience can muster the patience to read it all. Tried my best to make it as concise as possible without sounding like an AI, heh. ᵂᵃᶦᵗ, ᵐᵃʸᵇᵉ ᵃⁿ ᴬᴵ ʷʳᵒᵗᵉ ᶦᵗˀ̣ ᴵ ʷᵒⁿᵈᵉʳ
- 08.10.2023 Removed "Fand's Smart Palico Fix" from Cheaty Mods (Cont. Pt. 1) since it's not necessary to keep it. We already have a better alternative that doesn't obliterate the AI. Also adjusted text for the entire guide to make it more understandable. Some paragraphs are shorter, but more descriptive now.
- 13.10.2023 Changed the guide icon to a normal png. Sometimes, simple is better

- 17.10.2023 [Important] Capcom broke more than half a dozen plugin mods by "updating" the game. There are more changes than the Twitter post tells you. Apparently, they only updated for better Steam Deck performance (lies) and a new language (that one is true). The update also updates the already-gigantic list of censored words. Which means, now is a great time to get that Disable Profanity Filter[www.nexusmods.com] mod if you didn't already get it before. Hell, even "HH" is censored now. They are trolling us, at this point. ᵃʳᵉ ᵗʰᵉʸ ʳᵉᵗᵃʳᵈᵉᵈ ᵒʳ ˢᵒᵐᵉᵗʰᶦⁿᵍ Further information here[i.imgur.com] and here[www.nexusmods.com] (scroll down and check the post I typed out for detailed and up-to-date information). ᶠᵒʳ ᶠᵘᶜᵏ'ˢ ˢᵃᵏᵉ ᶜᵃᵖᶜᵒᵐ. Fortunately, Stracker updated the loader at record time, so it's mostly a few mods that contain plugins that are not working at the moment. Most other mods should be fine.

- 20.10.2023 [Important] If you don't want to wait for them to fix the missing monster icons and missing stickers issue for the High Resolution Texture Pack, check this post. They will most likely change absolutely nothing when they fix it, anyway. So taking care of it before they do it is a better idea.

- 23.10.2023 Capcom fixed the High Resolution Texture Pack issue without breaking anything else. Asterisk updated his broken mods on the same day ᵐʸ ᶠᵃᵛᵒʳᶦᵗᵉ ᵐᵒᵈᵈᵉʳ. Most mods should be fine now. If anything is broken, you might have to nuke everything and download everything from scratch to figure out what's wrong. I hope you are using a mod manager ᵗʰᵃᵗ ᶦˢⁿ'ᵗ ᵛᵒʳᵗᵉˣ or at least noted down what you installed. If not, good luck.

November
- 03.11.2023 Added "Subtler Smokebomb EFX" under Visual and Sound Mods (Cont. Pt. 2)
- 17.11.2023 Added "Bow Spread Pattern Fix" under Honorable Mentions (Cont. Pt. 3)
- 19.11.2023 Created "Challenge Mods" section and added "Old World Stamina Cap Drain" and "Oldschool Finite and Mineable Whetstones" under it
- 22.11.2023 Added "HQ Assets Project" under Honorable Mentions (Cont. Pt. 3)
- 25.11.2023 Added "Master Rank (MR) Monsters enrage faster", and moved "Remove Clagger Nothing Else" under Challenge Mods

- 16.12.2023 Added "Useful Event Quest Descriptions" under Honorable Mentions (Cont. Pt. 3)
- 21.12.2023 Added "Healthnotes With Crown" under Honorable Mentions (Cont. Pt. 3) ᵃⁿᵈ ʳᵃⁿ ᵒᵘᵗ ᵒᶠ ˢᵖᵃᶜᵉ

- 31.12.2023 Alright, folks. Another year is ending yet again, and this guide will be 3 years old very soon. Time really flies when you are having fun. As usual, I wish you a happy new year. Keep your loved ones close, and enemies... Even closer.

I'll move the update log of 2023 into a hidden guide on 12th of January, the birthday of this guide. I can't believe it has been three entire years since I started typing out this massive thing...
