First Person Souls allows you to play through all of Elden Ring in first-person instead of third-person perspective. It’s a simple but gigantic change to the base game, and it’s amazing how much the first-person view changes the entire feel of the game. Suddenly, thatUlcerated Tree Spiritlooks a lot larger. And don’t get me started on theFire Giant. Whew. It’s a great mod, it works well, and it’s a must-try for players more familiar with first-person than third-person games.

Quest Log is a lifesaver of an Elden Ring mod. As with most FromSoftware games, Elden Ring has a variety of optional quests, many of them with very obscure and opaque win and loss conditions. It’s not at all uncommon to find that an NPC’s side-quest has been failed for some unknown reason. And while ourElden Ring quests walkthroughis your best bet for players who don’t want to use mods, the Quest Log is another great tool that simply opens an in-game menu to help keep track of every side-quest and your next steps for each one.

Item And Enemy Randomizer is perfect for players who are ready for a new challenge in Elden Ring. This sophisticated and extremely popular mod randomises key items, merchant shops, enemy loot drops, and - most excitingly - the enemies themselves, so you’ll never quite know what the next area has in store for you until you’re there. It’s reliable, customisable, and heaps of fun - except when you seeMalenia, Hand Of Miquellastrutting down theTree Sentinel’spath as you first set foot in Limgrave.

Easy Mode has long been sought-after by players who find Elden Ring’s infamous difficulty to be a bit much after a long day’s work. Download this mod, and you’ll get to pick between three different difficulty settings, each of which tweaks your incoming and outgoing damage to varying levels. There are also options which increase the rate at which you earn runes, along with plenty more tweaks to make Elden Ring much less punishing.

Prepare To Die is a mod for Elden Ring veterans which dramatically ups the difficulty - but not in a totally unfair manner. A lot of work has been put into this mod which touches upon nearly every enemy in the game, making them quite a bit smarter and cannier than before. The best part is that while it does increase enemies' damage a little, it doesn’t rely on this for the increased difficulty. The mod author has said that enemy stats have only been increased up to similar levels that you would find in New Game Plus. The real danger comes from the enhanced enemy AI - exactly as it should be.
The Convergence is a mighty Elden Ring overhaul mod which adds a mind-boggling array of new content. New weapons, spells, enemies, bosses, and even whole new sections of the map have been added, providing a fresh new challenge for long-time Elden Ring players. This mod has got a lot of attention recently, not only for the vast amounts of new content but also the unerring quality of those changes. Give it a try if the vanilla experience is starting to feel a bit stale.

Elden Ring Reforged is another gigantic Elden Ring overhaul mod, which focuses less on adding new weapons and items (though it still adds many new ones) but more so on entirely new mechanical elements like deflecting, ducking, dyeing armour, gathering knowledge of enemies via a bestiary system, using spell and weapon combos, overhauling the classes system so it’s not just a fire-and-forget choice during character creation, and much more besides. It’s a truly staggering mod.

Map For Goblins is a very useful little map mod for Elden Ring which automatically adds hundreds of markers to the map, giving you a lot more information than is available in vanilla Elden Ring. With this mod you can see the locations of all unvisitedSites Of Grace, all undefeated bosses, and all unique item drops - including some of thebest weaponsandbest armor setsin the game.

Grand Merchant is a simple but excellent timesaving mod, which gives Kalé every item in the game to sell for free. Kalé is the merchant you meet at the Church of Elleh in Limgrave at the start of the game, so the mod allows you to easily procure any item in the game from the very beginning of Elden Ring. It’s quite cheaty, obviously, and certainly not for use in online mode. But it’s a godsend for players who want to try a particular thing with a particular item.

The Posture Bar Mod adds a secondary bar below the health bar of every enemy in Elden Ring. This yellow-ish bar, as you might have guessed, displays the enemy’s posture, which is a hidden value which determines when an enemy can be staggered by your attacks, rendering them vulnerable to a critical hit. It’s a great mod for helping you to understand the calculations going on behind Elden Ring’s complex combat system.

Clever’s Moveset Modpack is a compendium of Elden Ring mods all created by the same author, who has put out some of Elden Ring’s highest-quality new weapon and animation mods since the game’s release. Each of the mods in this modpack comes with a new moveset of attacks that you can use with each new weapon. They’ve all been made to an exceptional standard, and while they’re tuned to be pretty powerful compared to most vanilla weapons, they don’t look at all out of place in terms of quality.

Magic Overhaul implements a number of changes to several major sorceries from vanilla Elden Ring. Some of these changes are minor or even purely cosmetic, but many of them completely change the nature of the spell, with excellent visual effects and character animations to boot. After playing around with it, I very highly recommend this mod for anyone who wants to feel like a true mage in Elden Ring.

Transmogrify Armor is a mod that does exactly what it says on the tin without any fuss. This mod allows you to transmog your armour, which means to give your armour pieces theappearanceof different armour, while keeping the former’s stats and effects. Simply put: you no longer have to walk around looking like an absolute joke in order to get the best possible armour effects.

Unlock The Framerate is a simple but arguably essential Elden Ring mod which unlocks the game’s built-in FPS (Frames Per Second) lock of 60, and allows you to set your own custom FPS limit (or just keep it entirely unlocked). In this day and age, PC players are moving beyond 60fps as a standard framerate for today’s games, which is why this is one of the most downloaded mods for Elden Ring.

The PS4 and PS5 Controller UI mod is another extremely simple but very useful mod that does exactly what it says on the tin. By default, Elden Ring will only display control prompts in the form of keyboard or Xbox controller icons, which is bad news for players who use aPS5 controller on PC. But with this mod, you can get the native prompts to your own device, with all those easily understandable circles, squares, and triangles.

Pause The Game fixes an important issue for many Elden Ring players. If you’re in-game, then while you’re in the map or a crafting screen - or even the settings menu - the game will not pause. Which often leads to frustrating and unnecessary deaths if you don’t see the enemy sneaking up behind you while you’re preoccupied. This mod allows you to set a customisable keybind which pauses the game at will.

Remove Weight Limitations is a mod which isolates one of the effects of the Easy Mode mod featured previously on this list, and allows you to activate it on its own. This mod sets the player’s weight to zero no matter what they have equipped, allowing them to gain the benefits of the lightest-weight dodges and rolls while still carrying the heaviest, most protective armour. Slightly cheaty, but a very welcome mod for those who find no joy in the compromise between protection and mobility.

Disable Rune Loss On Death makes the entire experience of Elden Ring a little more forgiving for players who don’t have a good knack for rune management. By default, when you die in Elden Ring, you’ll drop all your runes on the spot where you died, and you’ll need to collect them in your next life before you die or they’ll be lost forever. This mod allows you to keep all your runes when you die, so you no longer have to waste valuable seconds at the start of each boss fight dodging attacks and trying desperately to reach your rune-strewn spirit-corpse.

The Elden Ring Ultimate Cheat Engine Table is an addon which is designed to be used in conjunction with the well known Cheat Engine software. As the name implies, this Cheat Engine is used for cheating in Elden Ring (along with many other games). And the Ultimate Cheat Engine Table gives you a very handy list of tickboxes in the Cheat Engine that are specific to Elden Ring, allowing you to very easily spawn items and enemies, change your level and stats, unlock all sites of grace, teleport yourself, and much more besides.
