Torchlight 1 Reborn is a combination of few popular mods and own ideas which cover many aspects of the game from texture changes to end game content and aims to transform Torchlight 1 in to a dark and unforgiving place and in the same time keeping the game practic and visually appealing.
You will find yourself in a hostile environment where quality items and consumables are scarce the enemies are smarter stronger and deal more damage.
(This mod may not be for everyone as it makes the game pretty difficult)
Requirements:
Tested on Torchlight 1 - v1.15
(Probably works on other versions as well)
Compatibility:
This mod is a stand alone project and it will most likely conflict with other mods so before doing anything you need to uninstall/delete any other mod that you have previously installed.
Installation 1:
Extract "Torchlight 1 Reborn" folder to:
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Runic Games\Torchlight\Mods.
(Starting a fresh game and creating a new character recommended)
Installation 2:
Extract the "FILES" from "Master Resource Units" folder to:
C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Runic Games\Torchlight ...and replace when asked.
(This step is optional but required to avoid some issues)
Additional Notes:
1. Do not clear the files from this mod via "remove_binary.bat" more info in mods folder Readme.txt please take your time and read everything!
2. If the game crashes during loading get a LAA (Large Adress Awareness) patch from here: Ntcore.com and patch your Torchlight.exe (usually located in D:\Games\Torchlight 1) to use more memory. If you also experience some FPS drop in crowded areas after playing a while please restart the game to reset Ogre output registry as this action will relieve some pressure on the Engine which is pushed to its limit by the amount of extra data.
3. Want to change the Key Bind and dont know how? Go to: C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Runic Games\Torchlight and edit the Settings.txt using any Key Codes Script or get mine from here: Mega.nz
4. Dont forget to fish especially in dangerous areas as it may help you in getting better items also there is a chance to catch an Imaginary Fish which can transform your current Pet in to a Imaginary Pet!
5. The game may feel relatively easy at start but it will become significantly harder as you progress. For the first playthrough with this mod on i would recommend going with Veteran difficulty and the Alchemist or Enchanter Class (excluding Hardcore Mode).
Changelog (29.05.2023):
1. Few corrections done in the Readme.txt as with time ive changed some things in to the mod but i forgot to update the documentation (nr 2 and 3 changes are done in the previous version so there is no need to redownload and update the whole mod its basically the same file with an updated documentation).
2. A simple UI modification done to remove the Food Bowl Image and the Drop Potion to Heal Pet Option from Pet Hud (the Demo Video its outdated and this change is not shown i will probably make another video when i have time). Ive made this change because i didnt find the Food Bowl Image fit with the adition of diverse pets and also because no one used Drop Potion to Heal Pet Option anyway. But do not worry you can always make use of the alternate Pet Healing System "Shift/Right-Click/Potion" to automatically use a Healing or Mana Potion on your Pet or alternatively you can use a Healing Gel or Healing Spell to keep the health of your Pet or Minions in check.
3. Some minor changes done to the Three Sisters Treasure Spawn Class so they no longer randomly drop the same Rings but only their specific ones (the stats of the Rings have been also reworked to match the Boss particular damage type). For example: Lady Marishka will only drop Marishkas Ring (Fire), Lady Aleera will only drop Aleeras Ring (Shock), Lady Verona will only drop Veronas Ring (Poison). Due to the nature of this Mod all Bosses have a 100% chance to drop a Unique item or a specific Unique depending on the Boss (to feel rewarded and more powerful at the end of each stage and not overwhelmed).

PS:
The first idea behind this mod was to compact multiple files reworked here and there for compatibility and create a single plug and play mod to improve the quality of life when it comes to mod and play Torchlight 1. The second idea was to change some things i didnt liked about this game from textures to end game especially the difficulty keeping it clean and simple with out to mutch crazy stuff and i hope you guys enjoy it to. I am sorry for the eventual spelling mistakes English is not my native language.

Hello, I am very interested in the mod, it is the first mod that I install in Torchlight 1, but the game closes after passing the first loading screen. What could I do?
Hey there Agonist14 and thank you for stopping by!
1. Try a laa patch from here: Ntcore.com and patch your Torchlight.exe to use more memory,
2. Delete massfile.dat, massfile.dat.ADM, masterresourceunits.dat, masterresourceunits.dat.ADM from: C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Runic Games\Torchlight and start a new game,
3. If still not working its probably a version mismatch the mod was created and tested on Torchlight 1 v1.15.
Hello, thanks for the answer and with the patch of more memory it was fixed. By the way the mod is good I will continue playing it.
Youre welcome and i am glad that you enjoy the mod!
