Mods for Everything

[Lekarim]

Mods are not only good for cheating but especially to improve the gaming experience and adapt it to your own needs.
Many players probably don't know what they're missing out on without mods.
Personally, I use RedModManager which has a lot of useful mods (see below). You simply copy this RedModManager.exe (Google it) into the games directory and then install the mods at the push of a button.
For builders, I can recommend BuildShare to create their own blueprints and bring their buildings into a new game

Probably cause those are some of the hardest mods to make and the this game has a very steep learning curve and time investment requirement to get anywhere even close to being able to mod stuff like that. Besides. A lot of those mods aren't really cheat mods, but quality of life mods.

Also I get the logic of asking for weapon mods while saying those are cheat mods. Adding more weapon mods would a form cheating. Would it not?

Because dev's actually made it hard to mod this game. There where a thread at the beginning of EA, explaining this. That there will just come a bunch of utiliy mods, like we see here. But no real mods, who add content to the game.

Thank the devs for it, holding their game even further down.

[cpguru21]

I think mods take away from the spirit of the game some HOWEVER after beating the game, I love the mods and also use redmodmanager. I mostly use it to speed up building but also love Axel's menu.

[AshTray900]

mods can be interesting, i dont personally use them, however i have used the SOTFEdit program many many times as if i create a new save i just dont want to play out the entire story over lol

I mean, nothing against you liking to call Dress Up, content. When this is your Thing and it adds hours of new stuff you do with it, have fun.
