Description

This a collection that was lovingly handcrafted by a community of gremlins living in cardboard boxes that like to make modifications and care about historicity. The mods should be loaded in the order they appear, and there is a .json file available on the Discord server. We hope you enjoy!

It may change over time if mods fall in and out of compatibility that are not members of CMH. A more stable but less full featured collection can be found here.
The CMH Discord is here[discord.gg].
