Essential mods?

[Faustus]

I'm just about to start my DS1 journey and wondered if there was a general consensus on the essential mods that are recommended for playing these days?

[Cujo]

There isn't really any mods for this game.

Only thing I'd recommend is DS Mouse Fix

[originalhro]

is there any way, like mods, to include achievements in games?

DXVK Async could be used to provide smoother frametimes and less driver side shader cache stuttering.

ReShade can be used to add CMAA/SMAA/FXX, AMD CAS, ambient occlusion via MXAO (highly recommend), maybe Path Traced Lighting via RTGI.

I have RTGI, I didn't even think of this... SMH.

Have you tested it? Does it look good?

Played in 4K120 with DXVK Async + CMAA + CAS + MXAO.

Ran great, looked great. Didn't try RTGI myself.

I used this for 60fps and mouse aiming fix:

I also recommend using Steams controller layout to reduce the sensitivity of right stick and make the dead zone a bit smaller.

There is the First Person Mod that was released this year. From what I know it works quite well. I will try it one day but for now I am not into DS1 yet...
