I run civ on a shite integrated graphics laptop and have to download the mods manually to make sure updates don’t fuck me over b/c I enjoy playing weeks-long ultramarathon games solo with the Extended Eras Mod. I can list some added civs, wonders, nat wonders, and secret societies too, but browse the workshop and find some creators you like, and they should be great.
Just realized that I made this list from an old list, here are a few other essentials:
Railroads by Traders Mountain Tunnels at Steam Power Top Panel Extension Customization VI Coexistence of Districts and Resources (With all resource can be harvest) Actual Sparse Resources Radial Measuring Tool Nut9931's Hellraiser Difficulty MOD Social Mechanics's Happiness Rework What Did I Promise? Notification Log Great Rivers Regional Identities More Beneficial Random Events Phantagonist's Chinese Dynasty Uniques Annex City-States Phantagonist's Chinese City Names Phantagonist's City-States - Silk Road and Beyond Second Unique Infrastructure Sukritact's Urban Identities Savannah C&P: Domestic Trade Bonuses C&P: Naval Trade Protection Triple Natural Wonders Workable 4th Ring Kalendae - Calendar Flavor Mod City states that prohibit expansion Mixed Farms Barbarians Actually Get No Free Techs City Banner Refresh Fix Religion++ More (or Less) Religions YD's Better Civil Engineering Guaranteed Oasis Set individual variables [[NB I don't use this one yet but it looks promising]] National Infrastructure Projects No first messenger of city state EPSTweak for Policies - No removal, no buffs Mistake Era(Future Era Update) Ver 0.95 Ancient Era Diplomatic Policies Enable Wonders On Mountains Science/Culture Overflow Bug Fix Sort Tech and Civic Unlocks Terrain and Feature Adjacent Yields V 0.9 Phantagonist's Slavery and Emancipation Phantagonist's Three Kingdoms Leader Pack Tech Civic Progress PlusFrom these, workable 4th ring is probably the biggest change, along with city states prohibit expansion. I have supplanted the desert woods with the savannah mod for better flavoring, and really like all phantagonist’s mods, especially the china expansions. Top panel expansion is a great UI mod.
Overall it’s lots of cheese but I think they’re fun :) happy to answer any questions
thanks, comrade, that’s a lot of mods!
Looks like this adds in a lot of nuance that isn’t in the vanilla game. I have enjoyed the vanilla version and never used mods . i should have a bit more time in 2025 and plan to play a bit more civ vi . I’ll give some of these mods a whirl
if i were to start with one or two mods, which of your list give the most oomf to a game? (If it helps, I don’t always have time for super long games .)
Strudeler’s deluxe, massive overhaul
Real rivers for random maps - great map gen script
Yes I’ve been waiting for this question, will get back to ya after xmas festivities, promise
