Welcome to what is aiming to be the largest most comprehensive mod list for Valheim! You will experience thousands of new pieces of content over your progression from average viking to norse demigod! (a non lore accurate power fantasy) The full versions of my lists are intended to be brutally difficult, the world is teaming with new life, & base defenses matter!

For the best stability/FPS:

1. Right click Valheim in your steam library, then in the Launch Options tab copy paste this " -window-mode exclusive -screen-fullscreen -console"

2. In that same window, you now click on Installed Files, then click Browse. Go into the valheim_data folder and open your boot.config with notepad. Make sure your boot config is set up like below, this will help with ALL Valheim modpacks. The file is linked in the Discord #modpack-help channel as well as instructions on how to install the HD textures if you want to try those out with it.

Boot config should look like this (without the spacing, did it here for formatting purposes):

-gfx-enable-gfx-jobs=1

-gfx-enable-native-gfx-jobs=1

-wait-for-native-debugger=0

-hdr-display-enabled=0

-gc-max-time-slice=3

-vr-enabled=0

-scripting-runtime-version=latest

To prepare the list for multiplayer with your friends visit this link to Marlthons free mods, then search his name in the mod manager and disable all mods not listed as free, simple as that: https://marlthon.com/free-mods (I recommend the LITE version of the list for multiplayer however)

For a quick description on the defining mod difference's between my packs here are the 2 different progression/ loot mods to choose from as a base:
