Presentation:
Cheyck’s Nightmare is a hardmod for Final Fantasy X created with passion, patience, and love by two merry fellows: DV (author of various mods for Final Fantasy IX, including the hardmod Trance Seek, still in development) and Cheyck (myself), who initiated this project! You may notice some influences from Karifean’s Masters Challenge and Pbirdman’s PBMmod.
Forthe anecdote, I started working on this hardmod with limited resources (fireYtail’s editors, which are sadly no longer available) for Shothari’s let’s play, a French streamer. He wanted to play a hardmod of FFX in French, but since none existed, I decided to embark on this adventure!
project contributions:
- DV handled about 60% of the work: he modified the AI of bosses and super bosses from Gagazet onward, made corrections to some earlier bosses, and altered or added certain boss attacks, abilities, and overdrives (with the help of Karifean’s FFXDataParser).
- I contributed around 40%: I modified all monster stats, as well as the stats and AI of bosses up to Gagazet (with DVlad’s assistance to fix certain details and bugs).
Note: This hardmod is currentlyonly available in French! However, with UnX, you can select English
or Japanese voiceovers.

- Important: Before proceeding, create a backup of the FFX_Data.vbf file located in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY FFX&FFX-2 HD Remaster\data. Name the backup as you wish (e.g., FFX_Data.vbf_backup).

Known Issues:
During the final battle against the aeons, it is strongly recommended to avoid using the soft reset function of the UniX mod. Due to modifications to the aeons’ artificial intelligence and the removal of their introductory cutscenes to save space, the UniX texture cache may fail to clear properly between soft resets. This can randomly cause texture bugs on the aeons, potentially crashing the game. In such cases, a full game restart will be necessary.
