Obsidian Entertainment's latest RPG, *Avowed*, has been generating significant excitement among gamers. However, even the most polished titles can benefit from enhancements to elevate the player experience. Here's a curated list of the best mods that can make your journey through *Avowed* even more enjoyable.

Best Mods for Avowed

Better Companions

One of the standout features of *Avowed* is the ability to recruit companions to aid in exploring the perilous Living Lands. However, the default companions often fall short in combat, leaving players to shoulder the bulk of the fighting. The Better Companions mod addresses this issue by enhancing the effectiveness of your allies during battles. While you'll still need to lead the charge, your companions will now play a more significant role, ensuring that they can handle enemies left in their wake.

Optimized Tweaks AVD – Reduced Stutter, Lower Latency, Better Frametimes, Improved Performance

The top-rated mod on Nexus Mods for *Avowed* focuses on enhancing the game's performance. Even the most well-crafted games can suffer from latency and stuttering issues, and *Avowed* is no exception. The community has stepped up with the Optimized Tweaks mod, which tackles these problems head-on while preserving the game's visual quality. According to its description, it "provides a comprehensive solution to improve performance and stuttering issues, while maintaining visual quality. It boosts CPU and GPU efficiency, reduces latency, accelerates loading and boot times, and enhances streaming and memory management."

More Ability Points

For players focused on crafting their ideal character build, earning Ability Points can be a slow process. The More Ability Points mod offers a solution by granting an additional two Ability Points per level. This allows for quicker and more significant upgrades early in the game, freeing you from the dilemma of how to allocate your limited points.

More Lockpicks

Lockpicks are crucial in *Avowed* for accessing the numerous locked chests scattered throughout the Living Lands, which often contain valuable gear. However, obtaining Lockpicks can be challenging. The More Lockpicks mod ensures that traders have a greater stock of Lockpicks, reducing the risk of running out when you encounter a rare chest. Remember, you still need to purchase them, so seize the opportunity whenever it presents itself.

Shorter Death Screen

New players to RPGs like *Avowed* may find themselves dying frequently as they learn the ropes. The default death screen in *Avowed* can be frustratingly long, adding to the disappointment of a misstep. The Shorter Death Screen mod shortens this duration, allowing you to jump back into the action more quickly and enjoy the game with less frustration.

These are the top mods for *Avowed*, all of which can be found on Nexus Mods. Enhancing your gameplay experience with these mods can make your adventures in the Living Lands even more thrilling.

*Avowed is available now on PC and Xbox.*
