Best Mods?

[Willy Stroker]

Hi All,

In a world of disappointing AAA games I keep coming back to this unique gem however i was wondering which mods are the best? I've not played with mods yet and i'm guessing an update or new game is way off so wondered what everyone can recommend?

You would think there would be more given the last games modding ecosystem but there really aren't beyond making the game look better.

Dismemberment +, the torch, banner and fire arrow mods allong with a few weapon collections are the only ones which are reliable.

The kind of overhauls that change gameplay crash constantly, and Taleworlds changes their code so much that a lot of modders have given up.

What type of mods are you looking for?

The core of the game is what it is, but mods do a great job of customizing the game.

Personally, I prefer mods that make the game more challenging and favor battle. Others no doubt have different preferences.

It would be great it there was a mod that allows you to create your own armour or promote lords from your own armies

I don't know about making your own armor, but there are a lot of armor mods that add a whole bunch.

I have some that were last updated in EA, so I wouldn't worry so much about what version they are for. They seem to work with anything. The real drawback is their size. Those files can be massive. But hey, looking good comes with a price sometimes. :)

There's a mod called Distinguished Service. Troops that get enough kills are eligible to be promoted to full companions. You can set the kill limit, and what other skills they learn. You can also decide not to promote them if you have enough companions. This can make for obscenely powerful companions if one of your troops got a bunch of kills with a catapult or the like.

There's other mods - Companions Expanded or More Hero Interactions, I forget which - that allow you to adopt companions into your family. Then they can get married, have kids, all that. Or you can promote them to their own clan if you're a faction leader, but that's a vanilla thing.

The base game is fine, but I much prefer Realm of Thrones, just the setting overall. I never could get into Caldria or whatever. After that, it is just quality of life mods.

honestly theirs been tons of good mods over the years with this, but, the problem is the key word of been; due to every single update ruining nearly all mods that were made for that version.
so if you really want some good mods i'd recommend going to nexus and picking out a handful of ones that catch your eye and downgrading the game to what ever version they need and then working off of that

If you like a bandit playthrough, better bandits and fourberie. Otherwise I be waiting for the major mods to be playable which feels like a year from now... Shokuho, KoA and The Old Realms feeling more complete.

I recommend sticking with vanilla. Its the most stable bug free way to play.

You are the type of person to recommend sticking to vanilla Skyrim arent you

Imho, what mods would be best for "you" is highly individual.

When I played through Skyrim at release, there was not much mods for it at all. Vanilla did just fine. Without mods Skyrim doesn't offer much replayability though.

This ♥♥♥♥. Because it turns out, absolute chaos from the start of the game makes for a very eventful (and fun) experience:

More fun for mercenaries because much more opportunities in and out of combat. More fun for traders because absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥ economy. More fun for people looking to start up their own kingdoms because not big enough factions to just nuke you out of existence right after you start. Not to mention power blocs are nearly impossible to predict. Its just so much fun overall.
