How to Scale Text in Soulmask with Tasty HUD Mod

     For many players, small text size in Soulmask has been a significant hurdle. From players with high-resolution monitors to those gaming on larger screens, reading small fonts becomes challenging. Fortunately, the modding community offers solutions that allow users to modify text size and overall UI settings for a better experience.

 

 

Overview of the Issue

 

     Soulmask does not currently offer built-in options to scale text. Players often struggle with unreadable text, especially on large TVs or laptops with high resolutions. Attempts like lowering the screen resolution sometimes help but often reduce overall clarity. Many users have requested an official text scaling feature, but until it's available, mods like Tasty Framework and Tasty HUD, created by Noms, offer practical workarounds.

 

 

 

What You’ll Need

 

     To scale text in Soulmask, you need to install mods designed for UI customization:

 

     1. Tasty Framework: A foundational mod that supports other customization features:
