Description
Vanilla Plus style mod collection.

I was tired of sifting through the most subscribed to find mods that were both up-to-date and offered tangible improvements over the vanilla game.

In short, I made a collection of additions to the vanilla Kenshi experience so you don't have to!

v1.0

Finally updated this collection after long hiatus! I've tried to make the changes brief to keep in line with the spirit of this collection, so don't expect massive changes to the list. Further updates will include mods that I feel fit the criteria of "Vanilla+".

* Replaced "Nice Map" with "Political Map Redux". Looks a lot nicer than the former imo, but feel free to skip.
* Removed "Sensible Spider Range" after comments on the mod page suggested the changes have been added to the base game.


v0.9

* Reorganised the bulk of the mods in the list to correlate better with load order rules. (For some reason I can't reorder Lounger Headgear. I'd recommend putting it next to Provicial Headgear and the other armor/weapon mods in your load order).

v0.8

* Added "Ancient Weapons Pack" that includes some nice, high quality weapons that are quite in line with the "Weapon Dissemination mod" weapons.
* Added "Training House" building architecture mod. Adds a dojo-style building that doesn't look too out of place in the world of Kenshi.

v0.7

* Added "Cannibals Expanded" due to a new Kenshi Kaizo compatability patch that has also been added to make the two mods work!

v0.6

* Removed "Grave Stone (new model)" to be replaced by a better mod.
* Added clothing item "Hacker Stopper Helmet".
* Added clothing item "Wheat Straw Cape".

v0.5

* Added "Interior (and Exterior) Design" which adds tons of new fluff furniture & objects to the build menu.
* Added "Gravestone (new model)" which adds a gravestone marker to the campsite build menu. Great for marking fallen companions.
* Added "Dog Backpack". Adds a convenient backpack for bonedogs.
* Added "Bog Hat" which adds a new "Southern Swamp" style hat for swamp-dwellers.
* Added "TENTS", which adds camping tents to the campsite build menu.
* Removed "Dialogue Expansion Project" to prioritise the changes to dialogue made by "Kenshi Kaizo".

v0.4

* Added "Bounties Galore!" to the list. Adds more bounty quests with appropriate rewards and new Meitou weapons unique to the bounty quests.
* Replaces "More Names!" with Seth's "Expanded Name Set" due to it being updated more recently than the former.
* Added "256 Unit Limit" because the more the merrier.

v0.3

* Removed "Cannibals Expanded" after potential compatibility issues with "Kenshi Kaizo".
* Removed "Concept Art Skeletons" after issues with invisible torsos on some of them. RIP skeleton customization.

v0.2

* Removed "Better Crop Fences", already intergrated with "Tents" in "Kenshi Architecture Mod".
* Added "Kenshi Kaizo", massive overhaul addon, *supposedly* less intrusive than Ashlands or Genesis.

v0.1

* Initial release.
