Description

Welcome to my mod collection! They have all been fully tested for many hours and they all work well together with version 1.5.1.1 of the game.

Why this collection?

Because I was looking for a list of mods that didn't overly transform the vanilla experience of the game while being sure not to install mods that weren't compatible with each other.

It pursues these goals:
  • doesn't change game mechanics too much by keeping them close to vanilla
  • improves or fix part of the vanilla gameplay that needs it
  • improves UI & graphics

My modlist does not contain large mods like total conversion mods for ease of maintenance and to avoid conflicts.

Why it is safe?

Because I reference all the files modified by each mod and verify that no mod modifies the same data. My collection only contains handpicked mods that are certified compatible with each others! You can see the result of this boring task on this Google Spreadsheet[docs.google.com]

Content

The collection is divided into 7 main parts:
  1. Small fixes
  2. Gameplay tweaks
  3. Characters appearance
  4. Map improvements
  5. UI appearance
  6. UI tweaks
  7. Quality of life/Mind keepers

Load order

Sometimes some mods conflicts with another one but with no harm if you respect my load order. Keep the same loading order if you want that all mods of the list work as expected.

Credit

Big thanks to all modders for their hard work on this great game.
