I would also play offline while playing with mods since they won't ban you if you play offline with them, but online play with mods is almost an instant ban. I have two folders prepared on a flashdrive to hold back ups, one backup would be my non-modded game and save file, while the other would be my modded game and save files, so that I can switch between them at will by copying over what I currently have. I actually have a way to try and bypass getting banned. Meanwhile, we get random and actual harmful cheaters and hackers roaming around, freely and ruining other player's games, so, yeah.Don't mod the game, unless you don't care anymore or have a Family Share account to spare on that.

These injections are flagging hard the game, like ' Oh, shoot, this guy is using mods! BAN HIM!!1!11!!1!!!!!111!! ' Most of the mods, specifically graphic mods and some gear mods that alters the appearance are doing injections in your file through the gpi program - I forgot the actual name of the program but it is something like this, I may edit this later. Moving on to 'why' you shouldn't mod in DS3. Originally posted by Agios:First of all, before adding anything mod related, and you did the smart thing coming here to ask about it, I would highly suggest you simply DON'T DO IT!
