Manor Lords is still in early access, but mods are already spicing things up. The Jesus Ale Tech mod lets you make ale without malt, making production free. The Adaptive Bandits mod increases the size and frequency of bandit raids based on your wealth.
Fun mods like walking around as Nameless from Gothic, Geralt, Gandalf or even as Shrek are also available. Despite the growing number of mods, most players are waiting for the game to be more polished before diving into the modding scene. One Reddit user conducted a poll, and the here you can see the results:
For now, discussing mods is forbidden on the official Discord server, but developer Grzegorz Styczeń has hinted at modding support interest on Twitter.
The Witcher 3 now has Steam workshop support and the powerful REDkit modding tools. REDkit allows players to create entirely new content, including quests and environments.
CD Projekt RED has also launched a dedicated REDkit website with a detailed user guide and video tutorials. While mods like adding blood spatter or changing Geralt’s eyes are available, more significant mods are expected soon.
Ghost of Tsushima’s PC port has sparked a wave of creativity among modders. Within two days of its Steam debut, 31 mods were uploaded to Nexus Mods. These range from graphical tweaks to modified save files that jump straight into New Game Plus mode. Despite its proprietary engine limiting modding potential, tools like reshading presets, and performance optimizers are already enhancing the game.
A huge new expansion mod for Skyrim, titled The Elder Scrolls: Apotheosis, is set for release in 2025. This PC-exclusive mod promises new storylines, epic battles, and unique enemy designs. Inspired by games like Dark Souls, it aims to offer a fresh experience within the Skyrim universe. While Skyrim mods continue to thrive, this expansion looks to be one of the most impressive yet. Check out the full trailer [here].
A new mod called Mario Builder 64 lets you create your own levels in Super Mario 64. Created by modder Rovertronic, this tool is accessible for all skill levels but requires an emulator and an SM64 ROM. The mod is a nostalgic trip back to the N64 era, allowing players to share their creations with the community. Check it out before a potential takedown from Nintendo.
