Mod status

Which Mods work right now?

1.0 changed the game's core, so most EA-era lists no longer apply. This page gives the community TOP3 first, then splits Mods into “still alive” and “inactive” by author update status; before installing, read the Mod install guide— backup and install/uninstall are all there.

How to read the status

Adapted for 1.0 → safe to install, still back up; recently updated (no 1.0 note) → author is on it, not individually tested; inactive (EA-era) → install at your own save-corruption risk, folded away.

The 3 most worth installing now (community popularity × current availability)

TOP 1

MapUnlocker

Exploration / map · ~390K downloads, 8.7k endorsements

Map opener: install it and the fog is gone; fast-travel points still need unlocking. Works in single-player, multiplayer and community servers.

Author updated to 1.0.0 (2026-07-10) — safe to install.

TOP 2

Pal Analyzer

Info display · ~320K downloads, 7.4k endorsements

The community's favorite QoL mod: hover a wild Pal to see its stats, skills and passives — a breeding must-have.

The author's page stops at 0.86 (2026-03); 1.0 compatibility relies on the community “Pal Analyzer 1.0 Fix” fork — always test on a backup copy before installing.

TOP 3

Less Restrictive Building

Building rules · ~180K downloads, 3.8k endorsements

Loosens building limits: build over water, remove height and collision caps — a builder favorite.

Author updated to 1.0 (2026-07-16) — safe to install.

Popularity uses Nexus download and endorsement counts (verified 2026-07-19); TOP means “popular and usable now,” not “officially adapted by the author” — Pal Analyzer relies on a community fix fork. Back up and test on a copy before installing any Mod.

These Mods' author pages were last updated before 1.0 and will likely fail or corrupt saves under 1.0; don't install unless the author updates or you verify on a copy. The list stays only so you can recognize and remove them from your old setup.

Something went wrong after installing Mods? Start with these three

SymptomHow to fix
Can't even launch / black screenUsually old UE4SS leftovers: delete the old dwmapi.dll etc. in Win64, then verify files. See troubleshooting
Save won't loadDon't touch your only save; restore from the earliest clean backup (disable Steam Cloud first). For backup steps see backup steps
Still weird after uninstalling ModsDeleting isn't enough — loader leftovers still load; follow the uninstall cleanup to clean it out.
