Summary
Most Assassin’s Creed games feature mods created by the community to make the gaming experience more fun and exciting. AlthoughAssassin’s Creed Valhallais regarded as one of the best entries in the series, there are still plenty of mods for it available online. Most of these mods do not change anything drastic within the game and only add subtle quality-of-life or cosmetic changes to it.
This list will rank all the top mods present for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla based on their popularity, usefulness, and how much they impact the gameplay experience.
Not all of these mods are completely refined and some may come with bugs of their own.
10PureClarity_Reshade
PureClarity_Reshade is a purely visual mod that enhances the colors and the lighting of the game. This mod gives the players plenty of options in terms of shading, so they can choose from a variety of options depending on their preferences. you may choose to make the colors within the game look more natural and saturated or make them more realistic.
This mod does slightly impact your performance, and you may lose up to 5-10 percent of your frames, but the significantly improved visuals make it worth it.
9Remove Startup Logos
Remove Startup Logos does exactly what the name suggests and replaces the 80-second videos that you have to watch after starting the game, with a two-second black screen. This is an incredible quality-of-life change that makes playing the game so much quicker and saves a lot of time.
This is a fairly common mod that has been made for many games throughout the years, and it works perfectly for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Although it is a minor change, the time it saves for players who play the game a lot makes it worth a spot on this list.
8Player Enhanced Muscle
If you’re keen on making Eivor super strong and really beefed up, then this mod is perfect for you. While not everyone is concerned about how their in-game character looks, some players want to enhance their appearance, and that’s where this mod shines. The Player Enhanced Muscle mod boosts Eivor’s muscles, giving them a seriously ripped look with added definition.
As realistic as this mod might look, it is only an aesthetic change and won’t helpEivor become stronger in the missions you face.
7Hide This
Hide This is a mod that gives you the option to hide certain items from Eivor’s kit. It is primarily used to hide a sheath that is always equipped on Eivor’s back, even when they aren’t using a bow or a secondary weapon. This sheath is visually annoying for many people as it serves no purpose and just takes up unnecessary space on the screen.
This mod can also be used to hide the masks used by Jomsviking recruits and some other objects in the game, such as the Harpoon or the Hidden Blade.
6Fix Cutscenes Ultrawide
As good as Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is, there are still some things that Ubisoft didn’t account for when making the game. One of those things is that cutscenes in the game aren’t properly tuned for ultra-widescreen monitors. This can ruin the cinematic experience of the game for some players and the Fix Cutscenes Ultrawide mod by L3X4RS fixes this problem.
This mod is suitable for most of the common 21:9 and 32:9 resolutions, so players with these ultra-widescreen monitors can enjoy the game in its entirety.
5Color Correction - Realistic Reshade Preset
The Color Correction mod by Se1y is similar to the PureClarity_Reshade mod but ranks above it for one very important reason. This mod improves the color correction within the game without having too much effect on your framerate. It improves the lighting of the game to create a much more realistic world and enhances the already incredible graphics.
This mod barely lowers your fps by 3–4 frames, which is a negligible change compared to most other reshading mods designed for the game.
4Raven Clan Outfit Mesh Swaps (And More)
This is another purely visual mod that allows you to change the appearance of many parts of the Raven Clan Outfit. you’re able to changethe look of a lot of the equipment in the game, including hoods, covers, cloaks, and helmets. This will not change the attributes of these objects but simply change their appearance.
Most of the alternative equipment you get to choose from will be taken from NPCs within the game. This mod also gives you the option to hide capes within the game to prevent them from clipping obstacles within the world.
3Full Body Tattoo Editor
This mod is one of the most creative ones in the game and allows you full control over the tattoos on Eivor’s body. You can choose to edit the back, front, arms, and head tattoo textures on the body and add custom tattoos of your own to the game. All you need to do is create and add your textures to the mod folder.
While custom-made tattoos may deviate from the game’s realism, they offer a fun option for players who just want to enjoy experimenting with their own tattoo designs.
2Eivor Face Retexture
This is one of the most downloaded mods for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and deserves a fairly high spot on this list. It allows you to retexture the facial design of both male and female Eivor and adds a lot of depth and detail to them. It might not sound like a huge deal, but making the main character look more real makes the game feel more alive and believable.
With this mod, you may also remove the wrinkles from Eivor’s face, making them look younger.
1Eivor Customizer
The Eivor Customizer is undoubtedly the most popular and useful mod present for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla as it gives you a variety of options to customize Eivor. This mod comes with many preset options of head and hairstyles, so you can pick from a range of existing choices. You can also customize other parts of their body, such as their skin tone, hair color, facial hair, and more.
This mod also allows you to completely alter the proportions of Eivor’s body, so you can choose to make them look bulkier or leaner, or even adjust their height to make them short or tall. This is a highly in-depth mod, which is the reason for its popularity and the reason it ranks first on this list.
