It wasn't a long wait for some of my favorite Valheim mods to start working again after the 1.0 launch, and just as I expected, there were plenty of new fan-made features to tinker with. I'm still digging through the sea of new creations, but here's a list of some of the best Valheim mods I've found so far—along with advice on your mod manager options.
Valheim mod managers and required mods
Gale Mod Manager or R2ModMan
"Which mod manager do I use?" is an eternal dilemma, but I've been using Gale to mod Valheim since it works with both Thunderstore and Hexium downloads. If you're already using Thunderstore and don't feel like swapping, that should be just fine for the one site, but I like that Gale is lightweight with extended compatibility.
