Balatro, but slutty

[Dorian Bates]

I mean the title pretty much covers it, I'm drawing sexy clowns and sticking them on cards

 

Behold

 

Lot of repetition in the common jokers but that's just how it be, I'll throw more variety into the higher tiers. But that's where you come in, cuz there's a lotta fuckin jokers in this game and some are harder to formulate ideas for than others. I'm taking any suggestions availed to me, as long as it keeps the concept of the joker relatively intact.

Steamodded 1.0.0 Alpha All-In-One mod:

Balustro 0.11.1.zip

 

 

Steamodded 0.9.8 Files:  -- Unlikely to be updated from now on, as of 6/14/24. Most work will be done on the 1.0.0 version instead.

BalustroJokers 45.50.150.zip

Balustro Text 0.6.zip

Balustro Text 0.6 NM.zip

Balustro Text 0.6 E.zip

 

Here's the 1.0.0 alpha version:

Balustro 0.11.1.zip

 

There's config settings at the top of the file, underneath the header stuff, right after it has two lines of dashes and says MOD CODE, just open in a basic text editor and you can change the settings.

Default settings are currently textures, names, descriptions, and rarity names.

Experimental things and the hand names haven't been moved over yet, but, I'll probably do so with the next update.

 

Extra note about 1.0.0 Alpha -

It's an alpha, so features are still constantly changing. It'll be a good habit to redownload it and replace for each update.

There's tons of features that are still rapidly coming out - There's been additions about every 3 days recently.

If some of those new features are used, but your version is outdated, it'll be very likely to crash on startup,, or at the least, simply won't appear.

Some mods from 0.9.8 will still work, some won't - I recommend looking through the mod pages and seeing if they have a 1.0.0 update,

 

For Steamodded 1.0.0 Alpha:

Spoiler

Go to this - https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded

Instead of the downloads section on the right, click the green "Code" button above the file names.

Download the .zip

Extract the .zip to AppData/Roaming/Balatro/Mods

  -  You can put %APPDATA% into the address bar of the file explorer - Not the search bar, the bar to the left of it - and it'll bring you to the AppData folder.

Place any mods in the same Mods folder.

 

You also need Lovely Injector - https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector

Download the most recent file, which at the time of writing, is the 0.5.0 beta-5.

Open up steam, browse local files.

Extract the version.dll from the Lovely zip file into this folder, where Balatro's .exe is located.

 

 

 

Putting this at the top of this thread so that any files I make don't get lost, and for easy update checking - Rather than scrolling down to the specific files with all the extra text around it, it's much quicker and cleaner to just look here and compare the names of the zip files.

 

Still, this doesn't have any descriptions, and this part won't list any of the changes between files, If you're interested in those, go down to the original posts, where I'll note the changes.

 

 

Absolutely amazing start, looking forward to where this goes.

Here's an example of it in game, and a zip file with a mod if you have Steamodded (https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded) installed.

 

 

 

 

Decided to start tracking the amount in the zip's name for comparison's sake, it's (amount colored).(amount colored+sketches).(total amount of jokers) so that you can easily compare, see if you need to update, and see a rough estimate of the progress at a glance. Didn't realize it was so high already.

Mini guide for installing Steamodded (Specifically 0.9.8, outdated.)

Spoiler

 I found this very helpful video over on the Balatro discord, so kudos and thanks to them, but, I figure not everyone wants to go around joining discords, so here's a link to that video. I suggest reading the description, since it's updated with extra details. I do recommend this method over the base injection that you can find on the steammodded github, since this method allows you to quickly update once you know what you're doing, and runs into less issues when you change mods constantly like I do.

 

Besides that, here's useful links, you'll see these two in the video:
https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded
https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector

And, here's an extra link that's consistently updated with a lot of balatro mods, again, so you don't have to join the discord. Some are still discord exclusive, but the majority will open up to another github page, which you usually can download zip in the top right, above the file names, where it has a green button that says "code", download as zip, and then drop the lua file from that zip into the appdata folder, which the video will show you how to get to,

https://github.com/jie65535/awesome-balatro

 

Extra note: This mod is not compatible with other mods that replace vanilla joker textures, but, shouldn't run into any issues if you install extra jokers, beyond not having similar art. This may expand to a few other textures, like if we change the booster packs and such, but for now, only the vanilla joker textures.

 

Note: Realized I uploaded without directly asking beforehand, should've since it's not my art, let me know if I should take this down or update it when needed.

 

Spoiler

For some reason, this post is broken, and trying to remove this now outdated image just copies it to the bottom of this post, so, I'm at least hiding it so it's out of the way.

nah you're good, I'm genuinely hopeless at the technical side of these things so someone else would've had to pack it up for shipment anyway lol

[VonVolx]

I mean the most obvious thing is to do the Tarot and face cards in a lewd way as a mean to not be restrained. As for the theme I think its pretty easy and you can just continue as is. Like the Postcard ones you can make them say wish you were here and show Ass/Pussy. The Mime one is just a slutty Mime. Rocket have the Space Lewd Joker Straddle a Large Phallic space ship. The Smiley can just be her face bukkaked with a huge smile. I could go on but I can't remember the rest.

[Someone23832]

Had some spare time this weekend, and as I'm so excited for this project, I've decided to sit down and go through the collection, writing whatever ideas came to mind. Obviously, none of these are definitely going to be the ones drawn, so please recommend different variants and options if anyone has ideas, even if you see the joker listed here.

 

I have some kinkier ideas, which I'm not sure how open everyone is to them, so I'll keep them under a second spoiler.

 

The chip variants of the already done multiplier jokers should be easy enough to simply recolor, maybe just needs a hat redesign.

The suit jokers, the ones that give multiplier for each card played, could be a girl showcasing and showing off the suit.
 - As an alternate option, they could have the designs on them, like as a womb tattoo, or on their ass for example.

Talking about the suits, the gemstone cards, onyx agate and that series, could be sex toys. Thanks, arrowhead.
 - Arrowhead a buttplug, onyx agate anal beads, rough gem a dildo, bloodstone a vibrator, just what came to mind. Alternatively, could just be all buttplugs.
    - Extra note, I think this would be a good design if the standard cards were redesigned - Toys instead of the actual suits, or could be body parts, like ass, pussy, tits, thighs.
    - This would probably change the design for the suit jokers, and possibly some others that aren't coming to mind.

Gros Michel could be sucking on a banana, while Cavendish could be fucking one. Or pussy versus ass, either one.

The multiplier hand cards, the duo, trio, family, order, and tribe, could be having sex with the jokers of the chip or multiplier variants.
 - Alternatively, the tribe and order could have specific designs, like tribal and knightly or like guards or such, to make them more varied.

Sock and Buskin - 69.

Hack could be showing off on a stage, or a bunny girl/reverse bunny. Extra alternative under the kinkier section.

Drunkard - Should be easy enough to make a drunk girl, although, not sure how to make it similar to juggler and troubadour if you want to keep the similar design theme. Party girls?

Stencil Joker - An artful nude silhouette?

Séance, could have a girl on the other side of the table, flashing her pussy underneath or something similar.

Reserved Parking, could be facesitting.

Smeared Joker and Misprint could follow a similar idea, thinking covered with cum, or smeared makeup.

Seeing Double - Lesbian Jesters, or a pose you'd see in a threesome?

Erosion - Ripped Clothing, ripped tights are hot as hell.

Bootstraps could have a cowgirl design.

Seltzer could be a bukkake, or a funny "no-horny" spray on a girl.

I think Legendary jokers should have something special, that goes a bit more off-card than just their outfits, but, don't have any ideas yet. I might edit this later.
 

Blueprint - Engineer/Technician style, maybe reading a blueprint while on a machine of some kind?

 

Splash - Squirting/Creamy orgasm

 

Matador - Getting fucked on top of a table with a red cloth hanging off of the table. Or maybe something along the lines of flashing by lifting red cloth?

 

Spare Trousers - Pulled down.

 

Hit the Road - Car sex? On top of one or inside one or whatever?

 

Golden Ticket - A golden statuette or something? Don't know, but I think it'd be neat to do something to make the edges transparent like how the corners are in vanilla.

 

Glass Joker - Pressed up against glass.

 - I personally wanna see a gaped pussy, just a personal kink, though. Something like viewing from below, sitting on a glass dildo on top of a glass table - Might be hard to draw, though.

 

8 Ball - Anal beads?

 

To The Moon - Office Lady, maybe? Would be good, but, think it has more potential, I'll come back to this.

 - Business Card could also work with something similar.

- Credit Card also could be in this area, but, not as close, and feels like there's other possibilities.

 

Fibonacci and Abstract - I think, rather than being anything specific, you could probably just go at these with more of a style in mind, rather than anything specific, and have it on the more tasteful rather than horny side of things, like Mr. Bones.

Loyalty Card - Keep a similar design, but as more of a prop rather than the focus. Add in some kind of girl in an outfit that you'd see at a restaurant, or like a maid cafe thing, or like bunny girls you'd see at a casino, just something along those lines. Could have the girl presenting it directly, or have it as body paint, or have it hanging on a lanyard while they're doing something else.

 

Dusk - Naughty shaped clouds?

 

Square joker - A pussy with a pixelated censor, maybe?

 

 

 

Very vague legendary ideas:

Spoiler

Work off the names?

 - Triboulet, tribbing?

 - Yorick, your dick, futa girl?

 - Perkeo, perky breasts?

 - Canio, cane, lashes and marks? Would fit the royalty execution theme vaguely.

 - Chicot? No idea.

Doesn't use the backgrounds at all, feels like a missed opportunity.

 

Maybe put certain body parts on the floating part, and the rest of the body on the back, so it gives the illusion of movement when you move over the card? I don't know how feasible it is, though, might not work out and just look really weird. Test with Hologram first?

 

Monster Girl Style Suggestion Section:

Spoiler

Sixth Sense (Custom Design)
Lucky Cat (Cat Girl)
Idol (Oni Girl, possibly just muscle girl.)
Luchador (Could just be a muscle girl, but plenty of options if you wanted to make into a monster girl.)
Invisible Joker (Ghost Girl, alternative in kinkier section.)
Vampire
Stone Joker (Medusa, maybe a golem?)
Steel Joker (Robot girl)
Glass Joker (Something to fit the theme of the previous two? Unsure.)

Scary Face (Monster girl, but more on the side of monster than girl.)

Mr. Bones? (Fits here, no ideas on how to make it work.)

Faceless Joker (Surely some kind of monster, alternatively, a face plastered with so much cum you can't see the face,)

Madness (Tentacle/C'thulian Girl, fits the madness theme.)

Supernova? (An astral, star-styled monster girl?

Ceremonial Dagger - Cultist type girl?

Trading Card - Could just be a character from a trading card game, but, I feel like there's a much more creative idea I haven't figured out yet.
 

 

Kinkier Ideas

 

Obelisk could be a BDSM scene where a girl is chained to an obelisk.

Shortcut could be public-use/free-use kind of thing in an alleyway.
Hack could follow this concept, but on a stage instead.

And Ride the Bus, at a train station or bus station type of area.

Egg could be condom focused, if you want to keep the egg-shape, or a creampie, if you want to go with a "fertilization" theme.

 - DNA could follow something similar.

Oops, All 6s could be three girls stacked. Either a dot on each ass-cheek for the dice theme, or something to do with 6 holes, like highlighting them or numbering or whatever.

Four Fingers could be using 4 fingers. 

 

Raised Fist with an ass about to come down on it might work.

Invisible joker could be about showing off juices, like having a mouth open so you could see the tongue and saliva, but not the rest of the face, or panties to the side, with a pussy that's spread open by invisible fingers.

Burnt Joker could be wax play, maybe? It's my personal favorite joker, so tried extra hard to think of something, but this feels like a stretch.

 Red Card - Heavily spanked ass.

 

Bull - Horsecock dildo?

 

Cloud 9 - 9 different toys and an orgasm?

 

Brainstorm - Could be body writing, but as I quite like this card, I feel like just that might be a bit bland. Funnily enough, need to brainstorm more.

 

Satellite - Alien/tentacle themed?

 

Turtle bean - 5 egg vibrators. 
 

Card Sharp - A jacket that seems perfect to hide some toys under, or be an exhibitionist with.

Flash Card - Could be similar by flashing, but not as true to the card itself.

 

Ice cream - Licking off a special type of icing.

 

Certificate - Naughty branding, maybe on paper, maybe on skin.

 

Banner - Chained up to the banner, or maybe have the banner in a hole, sticking out, or a pole dancer? Just leaves juggler for the buffoon packs.

 

Midas Mask - Dildo/open mouth gag of some kind?

 

Riff Raff - Orgy?

 

Hologram - Very proud of this idea, use the layer effect to your advantage with transparency, I noticed it's slightly transparent, so if you use more transparent colors, you can see through to the back of the card, where you could something like toys that are inserted or an x-ray type view of a womb filled with cum or whatever else.

Spoiler

Upscaled it so you shouldn't have to zoom in too much, but, simple proof of concept, I just threw a yellow box on the background, and you can see it best by looking at the red part of the hat. Probably could make a better proof of concept if I made it more transparent, but, I don't care to learn how to mess around with colors more in my image editor.

 

Delayed Gratification - BDSM girl, maybe a machine or something, on the verge of an orgasm, but being edged?

 

Pareidolia - Censored face, think like a black bar over the eyes kind of thing?

 - Extra odd idea, a sillier one - Drawing a face on an ass or something?

 

Mail-In Rebate - Tied up bondage girl?

Gift Card - Similar idea, but with ribbons?

Hanging Chad - Suspended rope girl?

 

Ancient Joker - Ass sticking out of a wall/gloryhole?

 

Walkie-Talkie - Girl on phone?

 

Castle - BDSM dungeon?

 

Driver's License - Picture of an ass or something with stats listed like "loads of cum taken" and such.

 - To Do List could work off of this, but I'm not sure how.

 

Throwback - BDSM blindfold and such. Or throwing it back, I suppose.

 

Stencil Joker - Think it'd be neat to keep the empty middle, but haven't come up with ideas yet.

 

Popcorn - Not keeping to the idea as much, would probably be required to be renamed to make sense, but leaking cum would make sense with the decreasing multiplier.

Vagabond - Used prostitute, like condoms all around, cum covered, and exhausted,

 

 

 

Cards I either have no good/very vague ideas for, or have a face and outfit to work with already, even if no special ideas come up:

Special Notes:

Spoiler

General notes:

Spoiler

Wee joker uses the standard joker's texture, so no need for editing.

 

The buffoon packs use Hack, Juggler, Banner, and Brainstorm as their faces. Once those are designed, it shouldn't be too difficult to put them on the booster packs.

 

Hologram, unlike the legendaries which have their card backs above them, has it's back down between Shortcut and Vagabond. The ones to the left of the legendaries are specifically the lock, which is obvious, and the lighter color blank joker is for the ones you've unlocked, but haven't found. The face you see hovering with a question mark is in a different assets page.

 

Jolly joker has a few messy lines, I assume from drawing acrobat and accidentally touching a spot nearby. Also, Smiley Face has it's face overlaid with the sketch, but, I just took the one from the completed jokers and put it over it, so, looks perfectly fine. It'd have to be done every time if the sketch part isn't erased, though.

 

Basically every single asset of the game can be changed quite easily, like if you ever wanted to change, for example, the small blind chip, or even the shop icon, to some kind of lewd icon, like maybe changing the shop sign to "Brothel" and surrounded with sex toys instead of lights and such. Just let me know if you ever need any more assets. I'd imagine that's a thing to maybe consider after the getting through the jokers, though.

 

Personal thoughts:

Spoiler

 = Besides the fact they really appeal to my different specific kinks, love the differences between the suit jokers.

 = Amazing work so far, and playing with it is already starting to feel like the game has been lewdified, rather than just throwing a few sexy images into the game, that's a bit vague, but, hope it makes sense. 

 = Do you have anywhere you post art regularly? All the art so far feels like it's been specifically catered to my taste, would love to see more work of yours.

= Noticing a few issues with my posts, like images and spoilers sometimes being in the wrong place. Maybe I need to lighten up on the spoilers within spoilers?

 

 

Spoiler

To Dorian specifically: Apologies for the massive wall of text, but, I hope it's enough to give some ideas whenever you feel motivated to draw. Don't know your work ethic, but this seems like something that could easily get overwhelming, so don't be too rough on yourself, and pace yourself with as much time as needed. I'd help more if I had any skill in art.

Added several ideas in all areas.

[Dorian Bates]

oh I'm an nth tier degenerate so I can guarantee at least a few of these are gonna get a lil freeki beeki but I'll try and keep it moderately restrained

 

that said here's the sketches for the basic mult multers

I say get freaky with it, and if needed, you could go back and draw a different texture if it's too extreme for some people, but I'll take that as a go ahead and expand the kinkier list.

Also, loving these sketches and work so far. I'll probably be visiting this thread to update my comment when new ideas come to mind frequently over the next few days.

[Alucard347]

maybe once a milder version is made an optional kinker version for those that want it could be worked on or something? and the art looks stunning and am very excited to see more of it!

Checks out, game mods is probably where I got my degenerate tastes over time. Lurked for quite a while, have attempted a few times to work on modding myself, but, never actually came out of the woodwork to release anything, because while I understand the technical side, my art skills are comparable to the monkeys on typewriters problem, best I can do is basically put random things down without understanding a thing and hoping it looks minimally decent by the end, which, it doesn't. I also simply just don't enjoy the process of drawing personally, so, I don't care to put in the effort needed to improve.

Edited April 30, 2024 by Someone23832
Punctuation.

[Someone23832]

New addition - I found a bit more spare time today, so I decided to figure out localization files.

What this means, is I can now easily change the text of anything that isn't a sprite, not sure where I'll go with it so far, but, here's a zip with just miniscule changes to see if I could. I'll add this to the earlier post as a secondary file if I go with it and flesh it out more.

 

Changes:

Spoiler

Spades are now Buttplugs.

 - Some jokers reflect this automatically, others don't. I probably won't modify the others until I figure out something that fits each suit better, I'd rather it fit the theme than feel like a joke addition.

Aces are now Asses.

 - Similar issue with this, just changed it because it's close, and  would allow for BalAsstro in the title, but, I'm still undecided for this.

Didn't like these enough to keep, maybe I'd change it if the textures for the standard cards were changed, Felt too silly and out of place compared to the rest.

 

All references to jokers are now renamed to harlots. (Hopefully.)

 

Jokers:

Spoiler

Splash - Squirt

Wrathful Joker - Bratty Harlot

Scary Face - Ahegao Face

Steel Joker - ROBO-JOKER

Mr. Bones - La Meurta

Mime - Chuchu the Mime

Bull - Cash Cow

Lucky Cat - Lucky Pussycat

Marble Joker - Medusa

Space Joker - Alien Harlot
Madness - Seedbed
Bull - Cash Cow
Rough Gem - Dildo
Bloodstone - Vibrators
Arrowhead - Buttplug
Onyx Agate - Jar of Cum
Stuntman - Stuntwoman

Business Card - Pole Dancer

 

 

Foil is now Oiled.

Negative is now Lubed Up.

 

Previous titles dropped.

Common - Horny

Uncommon - Kinky

Rare - Slutty

Legendary - Degenerate

 

High Card - Tease

Pair - Couple

Two Pair - Double Date

Three of a Kind - Threesome

Full House - Orgy (Dropped to Experimental.)

Four of a kind -  Foursome

Five of a kind  - Gangbang

Flush House - Flush Orgy

Flush Five - Flush Gangbang - Extra note, I haven't tested it with this mod, I don't know if it'll automatically make two lines, scale the text size down, or just run off the box.

 

No ideas for the Straight and Flush names.

 

There may be things I forgot, both to mention and change, but, it's just a neat proof of concept for now. I'm open to suggestions, for new things and changes.

 

Extra Note - I could see myself adding flavor text to sexualize the descriptions in the future, like. for example, instead of bull/cow being just "+chips for X money", it'd become "Selling off this cow's milk grants you +chips, according to X money" or something like that, just because I personally like the mods that go the extra mile to do that, but, I think I'd like everything to be closer to completion before I put effort into that..

 

Example:

Spoiler

Standard Version:

 

Balustro Text 0.6.zip

 

Also, will mention that I've noticed a slower loading time with this - Still just a few seconds, but enough to feel a difference, so just throwing a warning in. Probably just because it has to load the game's normal text, and then patch it again with a whole new set of text.

 

Extra - No Mechanics version.

Removes everything except specific joker name changes. Notated by NM suffix.

Balustro Text 0.6 NM.zip

 

 

Experimental Ideas

These are some experimental ideas I'm just trying out to see how it feels. These are ideas I'm not confident in yet, and just throwing in to see if I like seeing the name in-game. Some are lazy, some are silly, and this'll probably be less polished overall.

 

Noted by the E suffix.

 

These do not reflect drawn jokers. Some of them are just named of ideas that could be, like cum-smeared joker not having cum smears. It's still vanilla. Just go with the normal version if you find it odd to see in-game.

These aren't patches of each other or anything, it's one or the other, and they overwrite each other. 

 

Experimental only changes:

Spoiler

Flsuh - Creampie

Flush Five - Creamy Gangbang

Flush House - Creamy Orgy

Royal Flush - Royal Creampie

Straight Flush - Straight Creampie

Full House - Orgy

 

Jokers

Spoiler

Showman - Ringmaster (More gender neutral, also, it's already named this within the files, oddly.)

8 Ball - 8 Beads

Photograph - PIn-up

Midas Mask - Golden Gag

Raised Fist - Raised Fisting

Riff-Raff - Orgy

Baron - Baroness

Smiley Face - Cum Covered Face

Sock and Buskin - Suck and Bustin'

Smeared Joker - Cum-Smeared Joker

 

 

Balustro Text 0.6 E.zip

 

Special Notes

I tried changing a few descriptions, but ran into errors. It seems I can only edit lines already there, but not add new. They're split up into sentences for each line on the card,, meaning if I added details, they'd end up looking extremely wide and weird.

Two possible reasons:

 - There's a modifier somewhere telling the code how many lines to check each individual joker somewhere. Would really have to search for it.

 - It's an authentication/verification thing. If this is the case, I'm not touching it - Don't pirate amazing, low-priced games from small indie developers.

Any Balatro updates with major changes to jokers will be a hassle, and I'll be much more likely to make mistakes. If there's any errors in the future, let me know and I'll try to patch it with updated text.

 

I might like to change the face cards, my current idea is:

King - Queen

Queen - Consort/Princess

Jack - Mistress

These would have to be completely retextured, though - Kings being called queens while keeping the king texture,, and the queen cards being something completely different - It'd be quite confusing without those visual cues.

 

Looking for additional edition ideas - I really like Lubed Up and Oiled, but, they're inherently obvious - Oil is close to foil, and lubed up so that you can squeeze more stuff in. Can't think of anything similar for holographic and polychrome.

 

Simple Text Editing:

Spoiler

If there's a single thing or very few things you don't like, editing the file should be relatively simple. Here's a small guide on how to do that.

 - Right click on LustText.lua, then in the menu, "Open with...", and then your preferred text editor. Notepad, one that's installed by default in Windows, will work perfectly fine.

- Once the file is open, press CTRL+F, very useful shortcut that works on the vast majority of applications with text, including things like your browser.

- Type in the word you want to change, and then press enter or click next on the search box, or arrows, whatever appears, to find the next instance of text that has what you searched for.

- As long as it's between specifically quotation marks (" "), and not apostrophe marks, (' '), it should be save to edit, and once you save the file, usually top left > File > Save, next time you launch Balatro, it should appear in game.

 

- In the text, you'll see a few things like {c:spades}Spades{}, and things like #1#. These are ways to color/modify text, and to call upon variables, like when you have a joker that scales, the #1# will match up with wherever the joker is at, like spare trousers having +32 mult. Try not to mess with these unless you've read up on it more and have a better idea of what you're doing than what this gives.

 

You can always overwrite the file again with my download if you want to revert changes or messed something major up and have no idea what you did. There isn't a way to keep these between updates of my files, though, so any time I put out an update, and it's not changed the way you like, you'll have to repeat this process.

new completed jokers- hand multers

New addition - I found a bit more spare time today, so I decided to figure out localization files.

What this means, is I can now easily change the text of anything that isn't a sprite, not sure where I'll go with it so far, but, here's a zip with just miniscule changes to see if I could. I'll add this to the earlier post as a secondary file if I go with it and flesh it out more.

 

 

ey, neat

definitely don't want to get too silly with the renaming, yeah, the balance of horny and absurd is tenuous at best

Absolutely amazing start, looking forward to where this goes.

Here's an example of it in game, and a zip file with a mod if you have Steamodded (https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded) installed.

Decided to start tracking the amount in the zip's name for comparison's sake, it's (amount colored).(amount colored+sketches).(total amount of jokers) so that you can easily compare, see if you need to update, and see a rough estimate of the progress at a glance. Didn't realize it was so high already.

 

Updated Name - Delete Previous files or you may face issues.

This includes:

 - LewdJokers.lua

 - The assets folder

      - If you use other mods that change things like card backs and such, go in and delete "LewdJokers.png" from both 1x and 2x folders.

Mini guide for installing Steamodded

  Reveal hidden contents

 I found this very helpful video over on the Balatro discord, so kudos and thanks to them, but, I figure not everyone wants to go around joining discords, so here's a link to that video. I suggest reading the description, since it's updated with extra details. I do recommend this method over the base injection that you can find on the steammodded github, since this method allows you to quickly update once you know what you're doing, and runs into less issues when you change mods constantly like I do.

 

Besides that, here's useful links, you'll see these two in the video:
https://github.com/Steamopollys/Steamodded
https://github.com/ethangreen-dev/lovely-injector

And, here's an extra link that's consistently updated with a lot of balatro mods, again, so you don't have to join the discord. Some are still discord exclusive, but the majority will open up to another github page, which you usually can download zip in the top right, above the file names, where it has a green button that says "code", download as zip, and then drop the lua file from that zip into the appdata folder, which the video will show you how to get to,

https://github.com/jie65535/awesome-balatro

 

Extra note: This mod is not compatible with other mods that replace vanilla joker textures, but, shouldn't run into any issues if you install extra jokers, beyond not having similar art. This may expand to a few other textures, like if we change the booster packs and such, but for now, only the vanilla joker textures.

 

Note: Realized I uploaded without directly asking beforehand, should've since it's not my art, let me know if I should take this down or update it when needed.

 

Every time i try to use the mod it crashes on start up instantly and i dont know why, the previous lewdjokers worked fine, ive uninstalled the previous files and reinstalled steammodded and everything yet whenever i try to launch Balustro Jokers it just crashes as soon as the loading bar fills up every time and i cant even check the console in time before it shuts down

Found the Issue, the link to Dorians Subscribstar in the mod for some reason caused it to crash, when i deleted it from the lua file the game launched flawlessly, dont know why

Odd, Wonder what could cause it, my best guess is there's some text formatting needed for putting in a link, which I couldn't find. Other question is why it launches for some people and not others. Out of curiosity, are you on MacOS, Linux, Windows 11, or Windows 10? I'll reupload it with it removed anyways.

 

Nevermind, figured it out. Mistake on my part, apparently I forgot to move it to my packaging folder, I adjust the mods directly in my folder to quickly test for any errors, and I appear to have forgotten to copy over the final change before zipping it up. It's simply that Steamodded doesn't like a 2 line description, I'm surprised it worked for anyone at all. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

New completed jokers- mime, lucky cat

 

[Dorian Bates]

I put in a few games with the text and name changes, overall I like it but I do have a couple suggestions

 

first, the renamed hand types can be a little confusing in play. I feel like an old man saying it but I hovered on a blind skip that said "level orgy by 3" and the circuits crossed for a second lol. For accessibility, maybe a version that leaves actual game mechanics unaltered?

 

second, the joker tiers read a little awkward in context since they're not necessarily adjectives. I was thinking a decent alternative might be to instead just change "joker" to something like "harlot" across the board, which would open up better options. Amateur Harlot, Professional Harlot, something like that, tho again for accessibility purposes the tiers might be best left alone

Makes complete sense. Consider it done.

I agree with a lot of these points, weren't sure on them, but, I'm a lot more partial to the joker rarity changes because basically every single reference to the rarities are color-coded, common is always blue, uncommon always green, rare always red, and legendary always purple. Still, may as well change it for a non-mechanics version.

 

The other thing is that I had similar thoughts for the adjectives. I think Harlot is my personal favorite, maybe because of the time period it's from and the resemblance to the word harlequin? Either way, I was thinking of making them adjectives, like slutty instead of slut, but, whorish, doesn't feel like it fits as near as well, and I couldn't come up with ideas for the upper two. Whored out or something similar might also work, but, I am also trying to keep the length of text in mind.

 - Might start up Lustiest Lair and look there for ideas, I think they had a lot of good ideas and a similar time period, so, shouldn't feel completely out of place.

 

Overall, should have something new up in a few hours.

- Added a no mechanics version, renamed all instances of jokers to harlots in the main file, I think, changed the rarities and put another thing in the no mechanics version, and a few other small things.

Seedbeds? Hell yeah, one of my personal favorite kinks.

Marble should already be changed in either 0.4, unless I messed up and changed stone instead of marble?

Sure, could add the cash part to cow. Makes more sense that way.

Was looking forward to all of these jokers, they were some that first came to mind, and they've turned out great.

[Someone23832]

Realized I liked the update posts because of the notifications while following the thread, so here's one. Text is updated with new names, and experimental was changed to match the normal one more closely with the jokers to harlots and rarity change. Specific changes are in the post itself.

 - Still undecided on hand names.

 - Looking for ways to rename the editions.

 - Other suggestions welcome.

Also, unrelated, didn't realize at first, but, love the connection between the suit jokers and gem jokers.
