These are the must have mods that significantly improve the basic game play and add features that should have been included in the base game. They have all been tested with After Dark and with each other and there should not be any conflicts or errors. If you're a new user, this is a great place to start instead of searching through the Workshop. You can subscribe to all of them or pick and choose which ones to start with.

If you have any suggestions for this collection or find an issue with one of the mods in the collection, please post to the comments.

I will try to keep this updated as new mods are released and the game is updated.
