Must-Have Mods for PC?

[EyeGod]

Title.

I've installed Explosive Gore and Not A Reshade. Are there any others that folks can recommend?

Ps. I'm looking for cosmetic mods more than anything that changes the default gameplay. I've been looking at Realistic Darkness and Let There Be Light too.

All suggestions welcome!

I really like the real silencers mod and there's one that removes the man bag that is always slung across his chest. The brighter flash light one is great to. Honesty must have mods are very subjective.

So the most important mods for me are:
1) The debug menu, with it I can extend the length of the day, so that I have a daily rhythm "24 hours in game equal to 4 hours real time".
2) Darker nights mod
3) the " Freakers can hear you better" mod. Makes the whole game much more exciting, freakers seem more intellectual and aggressive.
4 ) Silencer longer lasting mod
5) Nicer scope mod

Its been a while, but I would recommend the freaker population multiplier mod. I forget the exact name and unsure if its still even updated, but I always felt like there wasn't enough freakers in the wild. There are multiple versions of the mod as well, and different variations too. Personally, I prefer the 12x Freakers, just enough to where i'm being overwhelmed everywhere I go, which was what I was looking for.

There is also a horde multiplier mod but I believe they might conflict, both are good options to ramp up difficulty.

Also, if you're not using Vortex to manage your mods, I would highly recommend that you do.

Thanks, all.

Ah, debug menu sounds great since I get so frustrated with the length of day/night cycles, not only in this game, but in most open world titles.

Here's what I use which i think makes the game much better in general:

Better flashlight (Super bright with around 8K color temp)
Car Opener (instantly opening car trucks, hoods etc instead of waiting for a 3 second animation)
More Ears (2 ears instead of 1 per zombie, makes sense)
Unbreakable Weapons
Unbreakable Suppressors
Unlimited Fuel (unless you fast travel)
Better Binoculars

Mods im using on my first playthrough (Hard)

-Multiple Fuel Tank Capacities - The gas drain is real. The x1.5 version is reasonable can travel decent distances without stopping/looking for gas

-Car Opeaner

-Better Suppressors

-Extended Explosion Radius Throwable Weapons_X3 - Throw molotovs in a group and only burning 2 mobs....so no splash damage? With this mod your will be burning 4 mobs.

-Nikolai's Weapon Tweaks - The guns feel way better with this mod imo. Its also increase gun ammo but not too much where its game breaking. This mod can make the game easier so recommend bumping up the difficulty.

-Multiple Difficulty Rebalances Player damage increase enemy damage increase - Bumping up the difficulty makes enemies bullet sponges this mod will eliminate that. The enemy damage make it more realistic. Its takes only a few bullets to kill humans (no headshot) but same applies to you. Give me a reason to use med kits without this mod wasnt using any.

Is there anyway to use any of these mods without disabling the achievements?

All the mods I used didn't affect achievements.

I have several mods loaded using Nexus' Vortex. I noticed that some of them do not work. They all show as enabled and are updated, but I am guessing that when one mod overwrites a game file, that it replaces an earlier mod that did the same. Not being particularly skilled at tech stuff, I am not sure how to make multiple mods work.

I currently am running:

More Ears (2 ears per zombie) [working]
Let there be Bright (more overall brightness) [working]
Unbreakable Suppressors [working]
Unlimited fuel and 2x Engine Speed [NOT working]
Car Opener [NOT working]
Unbreakable Melee Weapons [NOT working]
Make Hunting Great Again [NOT working]

I am completely clueless how to get them all working together.

For now my personal must haves are :
-"radio reskin Motorola BLACK"
-"Side Mirrors"
-"Clean Bike Seat"
-"Sarah's Gas Tank"
-"Darker Nights" (which has already been mentioned)

They are all 100% cosmetic.

I also downloaded a cosmetic mod that was supposed to turn Deacon's motorcycle from a dirt bike to an inline 4 cylinder (like the 1950's style Indian inline 4). It also did not work.

Less resources to find? Less ammo…

Making scavenging have more purpose?
