Best mods?

[Vantezzle]

What mods would you recommend to maybe expand the game?

[Heron]

- Faster and auto pause for QoL
- Davkul Rising if you want content in the spirit of vanilla content
- Legends mod if you want tons of content not necessarily in the spirit of vanilla content

If you want to expand the game further, I recommend these:
1. Stronghold - gives you an excuse to spend the excess amount of crowns you get in the mid to late game by creating your own base, buying upgrades / attachments to it and so on.
2. Origin Customizer - in-game customizer for your origin, allowing you to change the name, flag, difficulty, roster size, a bunch of modifiers. You can make the game easier / harder. A must have for me nowadays.

QOL mods:
1. Swifter - obvious QOL mod that gives you x4 and x8 speeds.
2. Contract Colors and Colored Rumors - just a QOL mod that lets you read through contracts and Tavern rumors quicker.
3. Plan your perks - another QOL mod that let's you to plan your bro build without having to name them something like "2H".
4. Settlement Prices - shows you buying / selling prices when hovering a settlement.
5. Settlement Situations - hovering a situation shows you the effects that is has on the settlement (No need to have the wiki open on your second monitor).

Legends for sure and without any questions. And I'd recommend Bro Editor.

[Coldoge]

QoL- Autopilot

[Melkolf]

None.

[Mr Conspicuous]

None, increase difficulty.

Installation is explained under the respective mods. It's very simple.

This might make people go "you're playing on easy mode" but there's a mod that lets you craft the Anatomist's potions. Bonus points if you also use the mod that makes Anatomist origin just be buffed in general.

Besides that I just usually do like little tweaks. It's been awhile since I've played and more so with mods so not sure what is still working and updated.
