About The Guide

The goal of this modlist is to provide a base to build upon with mods of your own choosing, whilst providing a perfectly good experience on its own, should you choose to not go any further. Initially a remake of EXPIDITION with less crashes, more vanilla assets, less overkill ReShades, and modularity, it’s quickly become it’s own modlist.

First, Important, and Final Warning Before Starting

Support will NOT be given towards people who have modified the modlist further than what’s provided within the guide. Although this modlist is designed to give you the essentials for a smooth and relatively fun experience to build on with mods you want to use, I simply cannot and will not provide support for everyone’s modlist setups.
