Now that Palworld<\/em> has firmly established itself<\/a> as one of the most popular survival games ever<\/em>, it\u2019s time to acknowledge the fact that it\u2019s remarkably moddable, too. We\u2019re not too interested in Palworld<\/em>\u2019s Pokemon<\/em> mods<\/a> here, mind: just the regular, gameplay-improving kind, instead, and that\u2019s what we\u2019ll discuss below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though it remains to be seen whether Palworld<\/em> ever ends up on our list of the best PC games with mod support<\/a>, there are some very interesting mods out and about already. Most of them are, granted, relatively simple gameplay tweaks and quality-of-life improvements, but as long as they improve the game, we\u2019re fans of \u2018em!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modding Palworld<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Utility is the name of the game when it comes to Palworld<\/em> modding, then. Whether it\u2019s improving your base-building experience or, perhaps, simply making the game (relatively) playable on the Steam Deck, Palworld<\/em> modders have leaned heavily into the direction of ease-of-use and quality-of-life rather than all-new content. This may end up changing as the game closes in on its 1.0 release, but that\u2019s pretty far out right now, and our selected modlist reflects this fact, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#10: Extended Building Reach<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Building large, sprawling bases quickly becomes a necessity in Palworld<\/em>, but the game\u2019s relatively short building reach can be a hassle in these situations. If you\u2019re simply looking to slightly<\/em> improve your build range and make camp upgrades more of a breeze, this is definitely the mod for you. Simple, neat, and infinitely useful – just the way we like it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#9: Stutter Fix<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The only reason Stutter Fix isn\u2019t higher on this list is due to the fact that not everyone is experiencing stutters in Palworld,<\/em> to begin with, and on top of that, some players simply aren\u2019t all that phased by it in the first place. Stutter Fix will mainly benefit people with small amounts of GPU VRAM and\/or those who are stuck playing on spinning rust HDD drives, and in these situations, it\u2019s precisely what it says on the tin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#8: AlwaysFastTravel<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Another simple but unassumingly useful mod is AlwaysFastTravel, and you\u2019ll never<\/em> guess what it does. All jokes and cheekiness aside, the ability to always be able to jump back to a given fast travel totem is extremely handy, and it\u2019ll allow you to explore to a far greater extent than you otherwise might be comfortable with. This one borders on being a slight cheat, we\u2019ll give you that, but as we said before – that\u2019s just the nature of Palworld<\/em> modding right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#7: Steam Deck Essentials (All Handhelds)<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From the maker of the Stutter Fix mod, Hybrid comes the Steam Deck Essentials mod for Palworld,<\/em> which, in truth, is a must-have for any gaming handheld you might be using. Depending on which of the mod\u2019s presets you end up going with, Palworld<\/em> could very well end up looking like a current-gen Pokemon<\/em> title on your handheld, but the simple truth is that this mod massively helps the game\u2019s performance on low-spec rigs, and official Steam Deck optimization isn\u2019t even on the horizon<\/a> right now. So, make use of this instead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#6: Palworld FOV Changes 70-150<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For whatever magical reason, Palworld<\/em> is beset by the lack of field-of-vision options by default, and depending on the angle at which you game, this could be a huge accessibility problem for you, too. Enter Palworld<\/em> FOV Changes 70-150, which does what it says and virtually nothing else! This mod allows you to fine-tune your gameplay FOV to whatever feels best, and yours truly finds it to be an absolute must-have if you\u2019re an ultrawide monitor user. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

#5: Enhanced Palworld Visuals<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Palworld<\/em> doesn\u2019t look rough by any stretch of the imagination, but games can always look better, and this isn\u2019t any different. The Enhanced Palworld<\/em> Visuals mod adds a wide variety of advanced post-processing effects that might not be up to everyone\u2019s tastes, but they sure can look neat when handled correctly. You\u2019re getting fog, depth of field, lens flare, bloom, improved anisotropic filtering, and a sharpening effect all in one go. If you\u2019ve got the hardware overhead for it, you could even splurge some GPU cycles on a bump-up in the game\u2019s internal rendering resolution, which we heartily recommend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#4: No Food Decay<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Palworld<\/em>\u2019s food decay mechanic is one of its more annoying aspects, and it can lead to you losing out on some hard-cooked goodies if you\u2019re not keeping tabs on them. No Food Decay simply does away with the mechanic as a whole, allowing you to not<\/em> worry about your Palworld<\/em> foodstuffs for a change. Another mod that can arguably fall into either the \u2018QoL improvement\u2019 or \u2018outright cheat\u2019 category, but it\u2019s just too handy not to highlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: MapUnlocker<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Would you like to know just where on earth stuff is in your Palworld<\/em> save? MapUnlocker is here to save the day by doing the most obvious thing one could ask for: revealing the entire overworld map all at once. Note, however, that MapUnlocker does not<\/em> activate all the fast travel totems, which prevents this mod from being a simple cheat. You\u2019ll still need to go around and trigger all the totems yourself, of course, but you won\u2019t need to get lost every couple of minutes to do it with MapUnlocker on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#2: Carry Weight Increase<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As with any other mainstream open-world survival game, Palworld<\/em> plays host to an almost ridiculous variety of resources. Some of them are rocks and minerals, as it were, and that means they are very<\/em> heavy by default. Obviously, this means you cannot lug around all that much stuff unless you invest in the appropriate skills, but no one could blame you if you felt that Palworld<\/em> was a bit too stingy in that regard. Carry Weight Increase fixes this issue with gusto, upping your default carry limit from a meager 300 to a whopping 1,000<\/em>. Channel your inner Andre the Giant!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1: Gameplay Tweaks<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the mysteriously titled Gameplay Tweaks mod. Unlike the remainder of this list, the title doesn\u2019t immediately betray the mod\u2019s purpose this time around, but we think it\u2019s one of the best upgrades you could do to your version of Palworld<\/em>. Notably, this mod features a whole assortment of buffs and quality-of-life improvements for your in-game avatar. For example, it allows you to tweak your aerial stamina consumption and the probability of rare Pal appearances. There\u2019s a lot to like here, and the best part is that it\u2019s all entirely customizable, allowing you to tailor your experience however you<\/em> see fit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
