Gus and I are on our second playthrough of Valheim. It took us quite some time to set up. The reason? We had to hash out the new, limited mods list. I was aiming for fewer mods but I also knew there were mods both of us wanted to continue incorporating into the game.
After much back and forth and cuts on both of our sides, including the loss of the Cats mod, here is what made it into the playthrough. Most were from the original, but a couple are fairly new and added new items but also new dangers.
I’d also like to note two things:
1) We’re not running the most current version of Valheim, as it broke some mods. In order to keep playing without the issues (at least until we’re certain mods are updated) we’ve rolled back to an older version.
2) I’m not including version numbers as these can change pretty rapidly

- Therzie Warfare Fire & Ice
- Therzie Wizardry
- Timed Torches Stay Lit
- Trees Reborn
- Useful Armor Stands
- Vikings Do Swim
- XPortal
That is the full list as it stands. Much shorter than the original list which had grown to over 100+ mods! Most mods add very specific functionality, such as Slope Combat Assist making fighting on slopes a little more practical. Many add more challenge – Therzie Mods, Max Dungeon Rooms, Seasonality. And a handful were specifically related to building.
I am highly recommending the Therzie mods. These are the ones I mentioned earlier that add a lot of new items – crafting stations, armor, weapons, etc – but also add new dangers.
- Foxes
- Bears
- Fire Mages (Black Forest)
- Skeleton Mages (Swamp)
Those are the ones I know for certain are included in Therzie’s Monstrum. I’ll let you discover more for yourself. It also adds new bosses in each realm for you to find and defeat.
Happy sailing, Vikings!
