What this mod does: This mod takes Xenoverse and turns it into a more hard core playthrough by changing the core stats of clothing, z-souls, accessories and eventually once I have figured out hex editing, character stats of all playable and non playable characters in the game.

Clothing: Stats are changed as follows; Tops have +5bonus to Ki, normal and super Ki blasts and a bit of Ki recovery.

Pants; +5 to health and a slight buff to movement speed.

Gloves; +5 to Normal attacks and Super strike attacks.

Boots; +5 to Stamina, and a bit of a stamina recovery buff.

Accessories; +3 to all core stats.

Health;  All health of enemies is increased to 2 or 3 health bars for PQ's and Main story quests. Recommended level is a minimum of 10, unless you want some really drawn out fights since all enemy levels are set to level 40( normal), 50(Medium) and 99(HardCore). After Level ten it becomes a bit more manageable since you would hopefully have some points in super strikes or basic attacks or something. This makes Xenoverse have a pretty hard play through for pq's and main story missions, be forewarned.

All clothing and accessories can now be bought in the various stores for differing prices than the vanilla game so if you are having trouble getting that particular piece to drop from a pq go buy it, although for a fairly high price depending on the piece. Eventually I'd like to, if possible, make all skills that can be found from pq's available in the skill shop as well, albeit for high prices.

This mod has been inspired by Loris Cangini's Clothes Equality mod as well as Nipun's 3 health bars mod. If anyone knows how to edit specific character stats through hex editing please let me know so I can make this mod even better. I will update with new Z-soul stats and abilities as soon as i can.I hope you all enjoy the more hard core play through and a thumbs up to all the modders out there working so hard to bring us great content ? Permission is not given to anyone to upload this mod to any other sites.

-I use CPK packing tools, just unzip the files directly to your data2 folder in your Xenoverse files.

-All subfolders are set up properly for easy installation. Also, this mod should work in conjunction

with any other mods, just install mine last to over ride any other item.idb, accessory.idb and clothing.

-idb files you already have installed. Included are the msg files for custom z-soul names and descriptions.

-The item files (clothes. zsouls etc.) and the tpq and tmq files can be installed seperately or together, no need to have the higher health bars or the items either or if you do not wish to have them installed.

-Now included is the option for regular health stat Z-Souls for a higher difficulty curve, or High health stat Z-Souls for offline versus and offline PQ's.

- I do not advise using anything from my mod online against other players as my Z-Souls have all been modified and you may get banned.

- Lastly, I do not give permission for anyone to upload these files to this site ( videogamemods.com/xenoverse ) or any other site without my permission.

- Thank you for downloading my Mod, I hope you enjoy this new unique, and much harder playthrough of Xenoverse. I have placed many hours into fine tuning Xenoverse with this mod and am excited for everyone to try it out.

 1.01 : I found some items that had improper stats, fixed em and re uploaded.

1.02:  Here is a small, yet thoroughly tested update that will be part of the heart and soul of this mod. I have added the following characters with increased health scores for all PQ's and Main Story missions; Raditz, Piccolo, Krillin, Tien, and Yamcha. My next update will have all characters with increased health for all PQ's and Main Story missions. As always enjoy, and let me know if there are any issues. You're feedback is much appreciated :).

1.03: All enemies for PQ's and Main story quests are scaled to level 60 and have 2-3 health bars. Some enemies like variations of raspberry or appule are shown to only have 1 bar of health until you hit them then they switch to 2 health bars, I am unsure of why. A few other characters like one of Recoome's costumes has normal health, it would not scale to level 60 and Oozaru's still have regular health. Soon I will fix all of these small issues. My next updates will have multiple difficulty settings based on enemy level, only one of these files you would install at a time,  updated zsouls and skills, so stay tuned for more content and enjoy.

1.04: Fixed some Pq's and Main quests that would cause a crash to desktop or infinite loading screens. There is now 3 difficulty settings to choose from. Normal has all enemies scaled to lvl 40. Medium enemies are scaled to lvl 50 and Hard Core enemies are scaled to 63. I recommend with a new save game starting with normal and as you progress install medium then hardcore. Difficulty settings can be installed over top of existing chosen difficulty and items. Notable enemies are Nappa in his 3rd costume, SSB Goku, SS4 Goku, Omega Shenron, Mira, Future Trunks, Some instances of Cell and Frieza, Beerus and Whis, and SSGod Goku. These Characters should have 3 health bars even on normal and medium. I cannot get the great apes to have multiple health bars as of yet, but they are still stronger than they would normally be and take longer to bust down. Next update will be all for Z-souls and Clothing.

1.05: Fixed an issue where time patrollers found during PQ's would spawn then vanish without fighting and make it impossible to collect dragonballs.

1.06: All Z-Souls are now fully revamped and added in with this version of Hard Core Xenoverse Stat Overhaul. Also, I have re-included High Health Stat Z-Souls as a seperate file so if you want to have some good offline vs matches or have stronger allies while doing PQ's you can just install the high health z-soul file after you install whichever difficulty you like and soon I will have some gameplay videos for all of you to check out the features this mod offers.  In the future I may try to increase the difficulty of master's while training with them and also have much stronger time patrollers. let me know in the comments below or PM me here on xenoverse mods if you ahve any suggestions or issues and as always thank you for downloading my mod :).

1.06 Name Changes:

Noteable Z-souls: These Z-Souls have all had their names changed, based mostly on quotes of said characters from the tv series dragonball, dragonball z/gt and dragonball super, along with quotes from movies as well and some because I did not like the improper english of the phrases lol.

-"Super Saiyan Bargain Sale" is now "I Will Surpass You Kakarot!" -"Gohan Never Forgives Evil" is now " great Saiyaman Never Forgives Evil!" -"Don't Underestimate Earth" is now "Don't Underestimate Us Earthlings!" -"Your Power Is 5...Scum!" is now "A Fine Display Of Dust..If Such Was Your Intention.Is It My Turn?" -"S-Stooop!" is now You Scum..I'm Gonna Tear You Limb From Limb!" -"Burter Is The Fastest In The Universe!" is now "Ginyu Force's Blue Hurricane..BURTEER!" -"Your Life Is Mine" is now "Your Life Is Mine! Let's Play Maggots!" -"This Could Be Fun!" is now "Ginyu Force's Captain...GINYUU!" -"I'll Never Forgive You Scum!" is now "Simian Bastaard! I Am Lord Frieza! None Can Surpass Mee!" -"I'm Your Brother" is now "Now That The Vermin Are Out Of The Way, Your Next Piccolo!" -"No Fair Using Your Left Hand" is now "I Think Mom Is The Strongest Persoin In The Universe!" -"*Silence*..Ignored" is now "Look Out Nerds! I'm Crazy Strong Now!" -"I'm...Only A Saiyan" is now "I'll Kill You Wher eYou Stand FRIEEZAA!" -"Might As Well" is now "I Dont have Time To Waste Here!" -"I'm Doing Fine" is now "I'll Frieze That Smirk, Right Off Your Face!" -"That's How I Fight" is now "I'll Enjoy This High Stakes Game Of Survival" -"Welcome To The End Of The Line" is now "My Power Is 10X What It Was In This Form!" -"As If I'd Lose" is now "You Can All Go To Hell, WITHOUT MEE!" -"You..Are..Our LAst..Hope" is now " Trunks..You..Are..Our last..Hope!" -"Cut It Out Already" is now "Not One Death Will Go Unaccounted For, NOT ONE!" -"yOU cAN'T Win" is now "Fight You? No, I'm Here To Kill You BUU!" -"Now I'm Really Mad!" is now "Damn You Buu!Now I'm Really Mad!" -"Bwa HaHa" is now "Now Begins My Ascension To True Power!" -"Dieee!" is now "And This...Is Called Super Saiyan 3!" -"The Futon flew and so can you" is now "Hi, I'm Son Goku!" -"Why Youu!" is now "I am the Hope of the Universe!" -"I am neither Kami nor Piccolo now!" is now "Rise of the Super Namekian!" -"Let me show you my evolved self!" is now "Call me Golden Frieza!" -"Waaagh! Nooo, Not That" is now "So, HotShot! You wnat to fight Majin Buu?" -"Ugya-gya-gyouu!" is now "RAAAAAH!" -"You can be the first victim!" is now "You, Kakarot! I choose you to be my first victim" -"I won't let you ahrm father!" is now "I won't let you harm my father!" -I'm the on who's gonna take you down!" is now " I am the one who will destroy you!" -"Whis, your stepping on poo!" is now "Son Goku, world's martial arts master!" -"Maybe your just plain stupid!" is now "I am the pinnacle of saiyan evolution!" -"Guess we should fuse into vegito" is now "I am..Super Mirock" ( description is messed up, I'm not sure why. -"We're the one and only Ginyu Force!" is now "Ginyu Force's Red Magma..JEICE!" -"Okay... Here's one from me!" is now "I'm Putting Everything Into This One Shot!"

Buggy Z-Souls: "This is super Vegito" does not do what the description describes. It actually boosts all stats greatly and improves Vegito skills, but fior some reason the zsoul tool will not allow me to change the description. Skills boosted are Split Finger Shot and Spirit Sword."I am...Super Mirock" is a custom made Z-Soul named after a character of mine. It gives a boost to all attributes when reinforcement and transformation skills are used. This Z-Soul is from the "what if" fusion of Mira and Time Breaker Bardock using Potara Earrings to try and defeat their enemies.

-All Z-Souls are now also available in the store for purchase except for the ones obtainable from masters.

1.07: A small balance update for a couple of Z-Souls. "Why you little.." has been revamped to only give a boost to normal attack damage instead of all stats when in a transformed state and "Call me Golden Frieza" has been fixed to allow Emperor's Death Beam to get the boost it is supposed to with this Z-Soul equipped.

1.08: Some minor bug fixes fro the Z-Souls "Son Goku, World's Martial Arts Master", "I am the Pinnacle of Saiyan Evolution" and "Call me, Golden Frieza". These Z-Souls no longer offer the boost to the ultimates Warp Kamehameha, Super Galick Gun or Emperor's Death Beam as the buffs on said Z-Souls do not work. Also, on Wednesday, August 24th, I will finally have a showcase video for my mod up on YouTube. Anyone that wants to check it out, if you like my mod and watch the video please give a like and a subscribe for more content, it will be greatly appreciated :).

1.08(cont'd): Finally I have my youtube video up for you guys. Sorry for the video being out a day later than I had originally said. I realized while editing that I could do so much more with this as my first ever published video and wanted to do the best that I could for anyone that watches it, especially as a thanks to everyone who has downloaded my mod and inspired me to keep pushing forward to make something great for you all. Comments and Feed back are always welcomed. I know the video is not the best quality, but I hope any one that watches it enjoys it and watches it to the end for something special :).
