This collection attempts to collect mods enhancing the game's experience while still retaining a vanilla feel, by making small tweaks. This is Vanilla Recipe & Object Tweaks sister collection.

It includes mods that add gameplay behavior (such as Fall Damage for NPCs and Monsters) and alter game's variable for efficiency and balance (such as BetterSleep).

This doesn't include mods that make drastic changes to the game and/or adding new quests/dungeons/NPCs/monsters/objects.

The mods included in this list can be safely uninstalled at any time.
