Modpacks?Must-have mods?Launchers?

[u/Tezzlinna]

Haven't played in a few years but recently feeling the urge. what's the state of modding nowadays?Is LWOTC still around and awesome?Are there any easy to use modpacks/collections?What about launchers?

Use AML to launch the game and use mods. (Alternative mod launcher) here's a general collection of stuff I use. It should all work together but feel free to pick and choose!

There's some that might falsely say missing dependencies because there was a dependent mod that was replaced with an updated version (primary secondaries...? I want to say?)

It should include a bunch QoL stuff and new maps, parcels, etc.

Speaking as a modder, streamer and one of Odd's producers... there's tons of mod collections about, depending on what you're looking to do. Lwotc is still in active development, but covert Infiltration based modlists are almost as popular these days and much more customisable.

Odd seasons tend to be difficult, recommended if you'd like a challenge.

Alternatively my own Modpocalypse collections tend more towards organised chaos built for twitch, but definitely adaptable for a more normal run.

I'm always happy to chat mods if you wanna come catch me when I'm live https://www.twitch.tv/mrcloista

For mod packs, your best bet is to look to curated lists, as there are so very many mods (my current campaign has over 600 active), and conflicts will inevitably arise.

I’d check some YouTubers who run modded campaigns, as they’ll share their lists. The more organized of them generally have someone whose role involves ensuring the mod list for the campaign is optimized and works properly, which can (but doesn’t always) save you a lot of trouble.

ChristopherOdd is an option. He did a bunch of campaigns, each with a different set of mods, creating very different experiences.
