Reason: Themes of domestic abuse, physical signs of domestic abuse, and PTSD. Soft Monster's design may look disturbing.

This article lacks content, whether it be lacking Assets, Trivia, Music, or something else. You can help Funkipedia Mods Wiki by expanding it with more info! Thank you!
Reason: Missing animated poses for literally everyone except Benjamin. More assets/spritesheets are needed, and The Soft team give out trivia a lot too. Benjamin also needs to be updated, he's missing his new sprite where he does the spooky month dance for Skid and Pump's new songs High Spirits. Benjamin is also missing his animated game over sprites.

We're you looking for bbpanzu's Soft mod one-shot?
Friday Night Funkin' Soft is an AU overhaul mod for Friday Night Funkin'. It currently overhauls the first 5 Weeks of the original game, labeled as Chapters, with a new and original Week having a new opponent to face. More updates are soon to follow, with Chapter 6 planned to have 5 songs as well as new songs to replace the vanilla songs.
Story
Aspiring painter, Benjamin Fairest, and his boyfriend, graffiti artist and high-school dropout, Pico (known fully as Pico N. Grounds), have been on the run for several weeks in order to be free of the abusive tyranny of Benjamin's parents. It gets to the point where even his childhood friend, Grace Dearest, has tried to get him back! And in a world where status defines your fame, it doesn't really help the situation a whole lot. So it's up to the art-inspired lovers to make it through this alive and for Benjamin to achieve his dream of being a world-famous painter and escape the reality that was planned for him by his parents!
Reception
Friday Night Funkin': Soft, before, within and after its initial release, was massively praised for its charm, creativity, storytelling, songs, and character designs. A lot of its positive reception comes down to how the characters in the Soft AU are presented - for instance, Soft BF is a timid painter, owing to the fact that his parents are abusive, egomaniacal, and controlling - all of which is displayed to the player. Another example is how every little detail has tons of messages, like how Benjamin wants to live out his own life, despite many obstacles trying to bring him back down to a fabricated reality. The mod has generated tons of fan support via its contents and setting the tones for people to create Soft versions of other people characters. And although this is up for debate, some are even calling it "the greatest Friday Night Funkin' mod of all time". Even PhantomArcade, one of the developers of the original Friday Night Funkin', was proud of how far ShinyTama and the dev team came with this mod and gave them his congratulations. However, while the mod has it's fans, others have expressed distaste for the mod due to how much it "relies solely on its own concept", as well as being "extremely generic". Despite the negativity, it is largely overshadowed by the positive reviews and the large community within it.
Do not harass the developers because of this mod. If you do not like the mod, please respect other's opinions.

Boyfriend
“bf noises”
― Boyfriend, In Fighting
It's the original Boyfriend from the original Friday Night Funkin'. He serves as the opponent of Chapter ???.
Gallery
Trivia
- Original Boyfriend "speaks" in beeps and bops, much like in the vanilla FNF (although canonically if he can speak only that he does not want to).
- For some reason, Original Boyfriend does not have a losing icon.
- Within the entire Chapter, he appears to be calm about the situation at hand. He's even seen accepting Benjamin's offer of being friends, despite Chapter ??? taking place in Benjamin's dreams.
- This likely means that Original Boyfriend actually wants his soft counterpart to pursue his dream of being a painter instead of being a rapper/singer.
- His hands are bigger compared to Benjamin's hands. This is likely because it is very strong, although it does not seem like it.
Girlfriend
“:)”
― Girlfriend (FNF), Envy

Gallery
Trivia

- Sven treats gay people like a loving family.
- Sven and Grace first met at the train station back in Chapter 3.
Gameplay Mechanics
- Both of Soft Monster's songs have the sides of the screen covered in a reddish mist. However, this is purely a visual effect and has no negative effects on gameplay.
- This holds true to the white-colored sides of Original BF's songs.
- When Benjamin screams in "Genesis", his health is fully restored.[17] This is easy to miss since its effect can't happen unless the player's health isn't full.
- Every time Boyfriend sings a note in the ??? Week, Benjamin's health is drained, just like what the player character would typically do to their opponents. This cannot kill you, it only drains your health.
Trivia (General)
- This mod was inspired by several other mods, most notably the Starcatcher mod.
- Because of this mod, it spawned a trend for people to turn their characters or OCs into a Soft version of themselves.
- During Chapter 5, when Benjamin calls out his parents' abuse towards him, the expressions of the crowd in the background go from happy and cheerful to hate and disgust.
- Genesis was supposed to be in Chapter 2, but was later swapped to Chapter 5 so that it would make sense with Soft BF's scream.

- Chapters 1 through 4 takes place in November, as evident in the dialogue of Chapter 2.
- Benjamin's chromatic scale is just an edited version of the original Boyfriend's.
- This holds true for Monster's chromatic scale too.
- The chromatic scale for Grace is actually of ShinyTama, the creator for the mod.
- It was revealed to be a last second decision as it wasn't decided between this, her mom's voice edited, Ariana Grande's voice samples or an anime girl's voice samples.
- In the banner portrait of Chapter ???, there's a rare chance for Original Boyfriend's silhouette to contain the "Man Laughing In Darkness" meme.
- During a Twitter Space, PhantomArcade, one of the devs of the original Friday Night Funkin', congratulated ShinyTama and the rest of the dev team on making the Soft mod to what it is today.
- He also confirmed on that same Space that a woman would be in the next update for the vanilla game. At first, this was thought to have been a joke, but it was later confirmed true in a trailer set for Pico Day 2022 when Nene appeared alongside Pico and Darnell.[18]
- In accordance to several pieces of dialogue, everything up to Chapter 4 takes places in November, while Chapter 5 takes place the following December on a Friday. Chapter ??? takes place later that night.
- Chapter 6 takes place the day after the events of Chapter 5.
- The upcoming update will replace M.I.L.F with W.I.L.P.O.C.
- The acronym stands for "Woman I'd Like to Push Off a Car".

- It was almost changed, but was left as it was due to short notice.
- Soft Mod is available on Funky Friday.
- Mod cameos in the Soft mod aren’t canon to the Soft Universe unless it is a Softened version. Mod characters won’t be canonized in the Soft Universe without permission from their creator.[20]

- Aside from the Fairests, every character in the mod likes garlic bread.[22]
- The song "Stay" was originally planned to be called "Don't Go".[23]
- In The Present, the Epilogue from Vs. Static and Vs RidZak + Cybbr share a song name that being Genesis.
- The song "In Fighting" references the word, well, in-fighting, the hidden conflict or competitiveness within an organization. This is because Boyfriend and Benjamin are the same person but in different universes or mods.
- The song "It's Complicated" is shown in Starlight Mayhem as a secret freeplay song with different voices, and TheMaskedChris said that it should not go without mention.
- Starcrossed was not originally made for this mod. It was originally made by Stardust Tunes as a remix of Pico for Pico Day.
- During "Hope" and "Genesis", Benjamin's miss poses do not show him with tears in his eyes.
Cameos in other mods

- In Friday Night Funkin' HD, Benjamin can be seen on a billboard in Week 5. (FNF HD mod came before.)

Some of the Soft Mod devs can also be seen, as well as JohnnyUtah.
Music
NOTE: Only songs that are original will be included, Fresh, Dad Battle, Spookeez, South, High, M.I.L.F and Eggnog are almost the same as the regular versions of the songs, albeit with slightly altered vocals. So they will not be included.

Father Fairest: Hm. I see you’re running around with that street rat again.
Benjamin: I-I’m sorry, dad, I can explain-!

Father Fairest: If you’re such an adult,
Father Fairest: Then you should have no problem beating me in a rap battle!

Father Fairest: Speak up, I can't hear you.

No Cigar Dialogue
