NOT INTENDED FOR ONLINE PLAY!

-NOTE: This mod was created based on Demon's Souls BLUS30443 (English release) and the text params will be incompatible with any other version of Demon's Souls. I.E. placeholder text will show for items/armor/weapons for non-English releases.)

INSTALLATION-
Simply place the mod folder contents (USRDIR folder and image files) into your Demon's Souls PS3_GAME folder and overwrite the contents when prompted.  File path should be (wherever your Demon's Souls game is saved) > Demon's Souls > PS3_GAME <--Place files here.
It is also best to delete your RPCS3 PPU cache.  File path should be (wherever your RPCS3 folder is saved) > RPCS3 > cache > BLUS30443(different for other territories) <--Delete the ppu folders inside here.

-Important- It is best to make a copy of your original Demon's Souls game files and install the mod to the new copy. (This is to avoid corrupting game saves and so you can run either Vanilla or DeS Expanded separately.)
To improve load times and other issues you can delete the Demon's Souls PPU cache.
Open your RPCS3 root folder, open the cache folder, open your version of Demon's Souls (BLUS30443 in this case), and delete the contents.  Run Demon's Souls and it should automatically recompile new PPU files.

This overhaul adds in new areas to worlds 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 2-1, 2-2, 3-1, 3-2, 4-1, 4-2, 5-1, 5-2, and the Nexus.

NOTE- With new scripts and events added, it is best to start a whole new save file or alternatively move to new game+ to reset all the events and their triggers. (If you played the mod with an older character some new events will not work properly.)

Warning - Unexpected issues may occur with online play.

This mod is for anyone looking for a new experience in Demon's Souls and those who enjoy exploration. 
As one of my favorite games, I hope you all enjoy this mod collection and find it to be a good reason to play through the game again!

Notes: This mod is not compatible with most other mods.  Texture replacers/Lighting/visual mods should work fine but, anything that overwrites scripts and .msb files will break the mod.   : (  Sorry.  There are some changes that will affect the game that cannot be fixed as of now.  The primary examples are:
 
-Phalanx MUST be defeated to access the lower city. 
-Adjudicator MUST be defeated to access the new area in 4-2.  
-The new armors/weapons may take a bit to load in. (Has been optimized. Make sure to delete your Demon's Souls ppu folders!)
-Load times might be slightly longer due to more resources being loaded.
-Some enemies may or may not act entirely as expected
-leaving or reloading the game in new areas may cause some issues. [Hopefully this has been fixed]
-unknown bug in 3-1 drops 947 souls. Still looking into the issue. In the meantime, free souls!  :D
-This mod will be updated over time.

For any bugs or issues, PLEASE notify me! 

Feel free to edit and use the files to make changes or your own mods.
