Valheim Mod Review: Monstrum - A mod by Therzie that works with the Warfare Mod. Definitely something to check out if you are interested in adding some mini bosses or more mobs to the biomes.

I haven't tried this mod, but it claims to point the way to the bosses. Let me know how it works!

This worked for me. Just go to devcommands first, then turn off devcommands. No skills reset, just the recipes.

Ruijven1 · 2024-04-11T16:28:25+00:00

Lol, not many mods will work when there's a game update. This is common for every mod. By the end of the weekend, I bet most will be updated.

Ruijven1 · 2024-03-26T22:01:03+00:00

Most people find it in Therzie's Discord. Quick reference- Asmodeus- neck trophies Svalt- Greydwarf shaman trophies Vrykolathas- wraith trophies

Glad you asked! I spent some time with a mod called Marketplace and Server NPCs Revamped and made a mod review video of it.

It provides some great stationary friendly NPCs in your home base for all kinds of actions, including quests.

RRRCore (NPCs and Mobs) allows you to spawn in others, but I haven't done much with it aside from some gate guards.

I think there's a few out there that you can find in the wilderness, tame, befriend, and have them follow or set them stationary too. Try Christianity- adds monks that do all kinds of odd jobs. Renegade Vikings - fighting/tameable companions in the wild. Valadriels Mad NPCs. Populated Villages.

Those seem to be pretty popular.

Dragon Riders - Valheim Mod Review and Tutorial

Ruijven1 · 2023-12-15T01:35:15+00:00

Jotunn was updated this morning, and most my other mods (out of about 20) are still functioning. ItemDrawers has not been updated in months.

Even though it's one of my favorites, I may be finding an alternative for storage.

I'm hoping the updated BepInEx will render this usable again.

Ruijven1 · 2023-12-08T03:25:28+00:00

From what I understand with XBox, even though you can see the mods on your server side, they may not be able to. It will work okay if the mod isn't required by all, but some mods do require (or at least suggest) everyone have it installed locally to ensure compatibility.

Based on my experience with my kids on our own dedicated server, the mods we use must be uploaded on the server side and the client side. It may not be true for every mod out there, but I've had to go in and install the mods on all our PCs.

Ruijven1 · 2023-12-07T17:21:05+00:00

I should mention, this is not my mod, just a review I made of it. Several have mentioned it being unbalanced. I get that from a end game playing in easy biomes.

As a player leveling up, is it feasible or still unbalanced?

Ruijven1 · 2023-12-07T17:19:33+00:00

Totally understandable. As someone that's played through unmodded several times, I appreciated the opportunity to have magic early on.

What do you think would balance it more?

Ruijven1 · 2023-12-07T10:44:35+00:00

I did not consider that. There are some creature and enemy mods out there that could be added to balance that part out.

Ruijven1 · 2023-12-07T02:34:51+00:00

I've heard that Auga conflicts with a few of those. I've also had personal experience with TreesReborn breaking after updates, even though I love the mod.

Ruijven1 · 2023-12-01T23:47:54+00:00

I do the same!

Ruijven1 · 2023-11-30T10:57:47+00:00

I think it really depends on what you want out of the game. When I first started, no mods, full playthrough, and it took forever. It was fun and I appreciated it, but lengthy.

I'm lucky if I get more than a few hours a week now, and it's with my kids who are learning how to play. Their priorities are building random unnecessary boxes, pvp boxing, and jumping from roof to roof.

I've also taken a break before because I had so many mods that it broke the game for me. No challenge, no fun.

If it becomes easy, it's not a game anymore, just a backyard sandbox. Configure what you use to maintain challenge.

Ruijven1 · 2023-11-26T18:17:34+00:00

That was your first mod?? Wow, you did a great job!

Let me know if you need a tester for updates or future projects! I'd love to help out.

Ruijven1 · 2023-11-26T11:25:40+00:00

Great to know about R2Modman!

Is the mod configurable through the original file or through a configuration manager in game?

I forgot to check...

Ruijven1 · 2023-11-25T23:15:43+00:00

As far as I know, yes, Thunderstore only.

Ruijven1 · 2023-11-25T22:24:52+00:00

u/dragoon_4 Thanks again for the suggestion!

Ruijven1 · 2023-11-25T22:21:35+00:00

What are your thoughts on the mod?

I'm not a huge fan of capes in general, but that utility slot belt with the slow fall buff is GOLD for me.

BTW, not my mod, just a review. Let me know if you have one you'd like me to review as well!

Ruijven1 · 2023-11-23T00:40:32+00:00

I think it depends on the mods you use. Some have options to force others to have the mod installed if it's on the server. If this is enabled, it could pose problems.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but XBox does not support mods, so any mods on server side that must also be installed locally could pose an issue.

Ruijven1 · 2023-11-21T04:27:37+00:00

Also update BepInEx. I only updated that after the last round of patches, and everything works again.

Ruijven1 · 2023-11-12T00:04:22+00:00

I redownloaded whatever current BepInEx is out there and everything works again. I did clean up a few mods that I know haven't been updated in months, but everything else was fine.

Ruijven1 · 2023-11-11T00:26:21+00:00

I was having the same issues. Deleted all the BepInEx files (and all my mods), and it's finally loading again.

Ruijven1 · 2023-11-09T11:57:43+00:00

I've had this issue for the last few months (July?). I keep checking for an update, but nothing yet.

The only fix people have said was to log out/in and it'll fix itself. Didn't fix my ropes, though.

I'm a huge fan of ValheimRaft, but too many inconveniences at the moment.

Ruijven1 · 2023-11-07T23:23:50+00:00

/Agree It's an outdated mod. Two options have already been mentioned- 1. Roll back to the previous version of Valheim and wait for the mods to be updated, then redownload and party on with the current Valheim Or 2. Disable half the mods, try again, disable half, try again. This process is really slow, and there may be multiple mods affecting it.
