Loop's Vanilla Expanded Valheim

Have you finished the game and want something more, or you are looking to start a new world fresh and enjoy Valheim for a long while?

You might enjoy this: Minimal but impactful changes only.

Think of it as an unofficial community expansion to the game, using the highest quality mods out there.

More to come in future versions. Keep an eye out.

I take no credit for any content in this modpack. All credit for each mod goes to the original creator.

How to install:

Download r2modman from Thunderstore, open it and select Valheim as the default game
Create a new profile (or go to "Settings > Profile > Change Profile > New Profile" if are already on one)
Go to "Online" and search for "Vanilla Enhanced" and download it
Click "Start modded" and enjoy

Optionally: You can backup your world and characters by going to %APPDATA%..\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim

Theme of the Changes:

Only changes that are true to the Valheim devs game vision.
Many QoL changes or bug fixes (read below).
Changes that fit in Vanilla Valheim experience and lore.
Changes that are stable and tested by me and the friends I play with.
Changes that can be easily removed to convert world back to unmodded.
No new building pieces. Buildings will still be vanilla.
No changes that make the game too easy or too hard.
No new monster types or biome (just wait for Valheim devs to expand vanilla naturally)
Optionally, some mods that expand the endgame loot and enemies if you want to play a lot more

Then start game as vanilla.

Have fun with the mini-expansion.
