A UE4SS Lua mod for Escape The Backrooms that unlocks Nightmare difficulty saves in the lobby save list.
The game hides every save created on Nightmare difficulty from the lobby save dropdown. This mod removes that hidden filter, so your Nightmare saves appear in the list and can be loaded normally.
Curious how it works under the hood? See the detailed comment block at the top of
Scripts/main.lua.
