\\\ /mhg/ Custom Quests \\\

https://pastebin.com/tcQEqyk6
- Community made "Arch-Tempered" Quests for all sorts of monsters. Does not modify existing quests or monster behaviour in any way.



\\\ Essentials \\\

Stracker's Loader
https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/1982
- Restores nativePC functionality, which is needed for most things beyond basic texture swaps.

MHW Mod Manager
https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/372
- Recommended for big brains who want to keep track of what exactly is in their nativePC folder. Also lets you choose styles etc on certain mods.




\\\ Cosmetics etc, no gameplay changes \\\

MHW Transmog
https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/43
- Make your own transmog outfits. You can also now save sets using the in-game options that came with Iceborne.
Update: Now only useful for a few remaining pieces, e.g. the Buff Body alpha set.


Gems Sorted by Name (Alphabetized Gems)
https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/2364
- Sorts gems alphabetically when setting decorations.


Cuter Handler Face Model (Post-Iceborne)
https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/1914
- Improves the handler's facial textures and model.


Blood EFX
https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/2036
- Adds blood effects back into the game. Has a variety of options to choose from.


KOtoBONK
https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/2291
- Replaces KO damage sound with BONK

Active Skill Popup Removal
https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/2300
- Removes the popup messages that trigger upon skill (de-)activation

Enhanced Greatsword EFX
https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/2025
- Adds more dramatic visual effects to GS attacks such as the ground cracking open/dust etc. Very XX.


(Classic) Modern Melodies
https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/2416/
- Lets you customize a selection of tracks in the game, such as Pokke village theme for Seliana


UberGrainy's Mods - Manager recommended
https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/users/3124030?tab=user+files
- Plethora of visual goodies like extra hair styles, custom armors and model swaps for weapons like the Glavenus Tailblade Greatsword. If you're going to really get into modding your huntress/your outfits, it might be worth investing in a mod manager to keep track of each mod.


MangieW's Mods - Manager recommended
https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/users/68725658?tab=user+files
- Lewder armor mods, such as Skimpy Narga Cuga and Garon sets. I don't recommend installing his legs because the high heels he adds cuts into the calf, rather than pushing the huntress upwards. Again, a manager is recommended as you can pick and choose what parts of the armor you actually want to change.


Monster Poggie - Cute Dodogama Nergigante Odogaron and More Poggie Skins - Iceborne
https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/2277
- Replaces the first 6 poogie costumes with Dodogama, Nergigante, Odogaron, Vaal Hazak, Kulve Taroth and Deviljho models.



\\\ Gameplay changes but I swear they're fair and balanced™ \\\

Max Decoration Level Indicator (Iceborne)
https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/1088
- Shows the amount of jewels needed to achieve the max. level of a skill, useful for melding quickly. Works with skill secrets.


Fortify Time Extension
https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/2006
- Increases duration from 50m to several hours so you dont have to reapply it after every 5 monsters.
