I didn't know I wanted this but now it's all I can think about.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

So far the mod selection seems rather shallow but more and more are coming every day

The mystic class seems really cool

Better Hotbar 2 is basically mandatory for casters. The of the Longstrider/Jump aoe mods are convenient. Kay's Hair Extensions and P4 Bangs Everywhere are nice if you really like customizing characters. I don't they've been updated to patch 7 yet, but a lot of the class/subclass mods are worth getting; Cleric Subclasses, Rogues Extra, Hexblade, Artificer. sumradagnoth8 and havsglimt on nexus mods have a bunch. 5e spells is also a must have.

Schlongs of Skyrim

Look on the main page of Nexus mods. A ton of older mods are being updated for patch 7

Play the games how you want to have fun, and anyone who says otherwise is dead wrong. I've dabbled in "cheating" myself, whether it's giving myself 60 pts for starting traits in Zomboid, or building really unbalanced maps in AoE II and preventing the computers from ever advancing, it's fun to sometimes modify the rules to benefit me unilaterally.

I am a singleplayer cheater, and all the times in the past that I lost massive progress because of glitches and crashes is one of the major contributing factors to it.

Did you ever find out how your saves got deleted? Been facing save-related troubles with a similar impact when cross playing between PC and ROG Ally

Yes, but not with an unmodified toolkit, which opens levels as read-only, and disallows creating new levels. But there is a patch for the toolkit on nexusmods which unlocks the toolkit and makes the map editor and other stuff available. If you know what you are doing, you should be able to edit the main campaign or make your own.

I played around with it a bit, and all I can say, its complicated.

That's what I want out of the game, really. A full toolkit a la Neverwinter Nights.

Or importing new maps and characters, imagine somebody porting the Resident Evil Mansion or Raccoon Police Station with the Resident Evil Characters. Playing Resident Evil 1 with 5e rules would certainly be something. People have already done it with Men of War Assault Squad 2.

At least 1. And it's compatible with the big race mod that adds basically every single race that ever existed in D&D to the game.

Easier question might be, how many don't?

1. OWNERSHIP

By accepting these terms, you acknowledge and agree that you do not own or have any proprietary rights in the Game or any Mods you create, except as specifically mentioned here. Any Mods you create are your property only if they consist only of your original creative work. To the extent that any element of your Mod includes or is derived from the Game's intellectual property (such as code, themes, characters, names, stories, dialogue, locations, artwork, sounds, music, and visual effects), you agree that all intellectual property rights therein, whether they are registered or not, are owned by Larian Studios and its licensors.

I'm not sure I believe you about your first point.

Reminds me of how a bunch of mods got integrated into Divinity original sin 2 as optional features.

Note that Larian essentially takes full ownership of anything you upload on their own mod Loader...

Every company does.
