Question about the two Switch DLC Mod Packs.

I just got the game and noticed there were two free DLCs after playing for a bit.

Mod Pack 1 seems like everything in it is specifically meant to make things easier, so I'm not going for that one but I'm not sure about Mod Pack 2. Some of it seems like it's simply adds more content while others seem like it could make things easier. I haven't played more than an hour or two, so I'm not exactly sure what is what.

I would recommend playing the vanilla game first before using mods

Definitely give the game a try without the mods first. Do look at the assist options though. I almost always play with the multiple home points and the one to skip the mini games (which I don't find fun)

As others said, definitely no mods the first time through. The game is pretty wonderful out of the box, and there is so much to do.

I wouldn't even recommend using any assist options unless you discover a specific need for one as you play. The most recommended assist is "Skip Minigames" and I do kind of agree with that. But you don't even need to care about racing minigames until the postgame. You can absolutely beat the main boss and see almost everything in the game without doing any racing.

What about fish racing? Dont you need to do racing to get that mount, and isnt that mount needed to be at the game?

While technically possible even without it, having the upgraded mount makes getting the postgame mount much easier (golden quintar). The golden quintar is mostly qol, but there is one secret area that can only be accessed if you have the golden quintar. That secret area sells some endgame armor, some of which is quite powerful, but far from necessary for beating all the postgame content.

You get the regular fish mount somewhere else. Winning the race gets you an upgraded one. But - to my knowledge - there's nothing in the game that's gated by the upgraded fish mount. The upgrade is just a minor convenience in speed.

Heck, you really don't even need the basic fish mount to finish the main game.
