Crimson Desert is an amazing game in many aspects, but it also has an incredible amount of jank and optimization issues. Although Pearl Abyss is trying to fix many of the problems with patches, it will take a long time before they can fix everything. Until then, you can use these Crimson Desert mods to fix most issues in the game. Sadly this option is only available for PC players, so console players will have to wait for official patches. So, let’s check out the mods.
No Need to Hold the Interact Button
The first Crimson Desert mod you should try out is HurryTheFUp. Are you tired of holding the interact button for almost everything in the game, including picking up loot? I sure am. This mode changes it up, making the interact button almost instantaneous. This will save you a ton of time in Crimson Desert and will preserve your sanity during those big camp liberation quests.
Sprint Overhaul
Sprinting in Crimson Desert can be equally annoying, as you need to button mash to get your character going. Two mods fix this mechanic for both keyboard and mouse, and controllers. The Smooth Movement mod for controllers makes it so that tilting your thumbstick will automatically make your character sprint, while the CDSprintHold mode makes it so that you can hold the Shift key on the keyboard to sprint. This makes this one of the best Crimson Desert mods to have installed.
Inventory Expander
Increasing Crimson Desert’s inventory is a massive chore, as it requires you to complete side quests. And not all Crimson Desert quests increase your inventory space, making it quite a hassle to search for the ones that do and then complete them. The Inventory Expander mod in Crimson Desert fixes all those issues and lets you expand the inventory in no time. If you are tired of a small inventory space, then this mod is the perfect fix you need.
Visual Redux Reshade
Crimson Desert is a gorgeous game, but it still has some graphical issues that can be annoying. The visual noise in the game is very bad, and our best Crimson Desert settings guide can help you fix it somewhat. But if you truly want to see a substantial change, you will need to use the Visual Redux Reshade mod. This is one of the best Crimson Desert mods, receiving a lot of praise from players, and the visual changes really enhance the game’s experience.
Basic UI HUD and Subtitle Scaler
Although Crimson Desert has a UI scaler in the game, it makes negligible changes. That’s the UI HUD and Subtitle scaler mod, which is getting so much praise from players. At its core, the mod is very simple, allowing you to change the UI HUD and subtitle, but it has completely changed my experience of the game after I used it to decrease the HUD size.
Hide HUD and Effects
If you don’t want to decrease the HUD size, instead preferring to hide the UI completely, then you must use the Hide HUD and Effects mod. This mod is perfect for getting the cinematic experience of Crimson Desert. You will no longer need to enter the photo mode to get the nice HUD-less screenshots of the game. The mod also decreases certain effects, making the combat cleaner.
Camera Overhaul
Tired of the constantly moving camera of Crimson Desert? I sure am! The Crimson Desert boss fights can be very challenging due to the moving camera. Thankfully, the CDCamera mod completely overhauls the camera, keeping it fixed with better tracking. This mod has a bit of jank when it comes to riding mounts, but the developer is constantly updating it to fix those issues as well. Overall, I feel this is one of the best Crimson Desert mods and is a must-have addition.
Controller Button Remapper
Crimson Desert doesn’t allow players to remap controllers, which is a massive issue, as the game has some of the most complex control systems. We have already addressed this issue in our Crimson Desert Controller settings guide, but you can also use the Controller Button Remapper from here to fix it directly. This makes the controller button remapper one of the best Crimson Desert mods out there.
Player Status Modifier
If you want complete control over the Crimson Desert stats, then you need to use the Player Status Modifier mod. This mod gives you complete control over the Health, Spirit, and Stamina stats of players. Other than that, you can also use it to change the pickup multiplier. This mod will make many of the unnecessarily complex aspects of the game easier.
So, these are the best Crimson Desert mods that you need to fix the game. Did we miss out on any mod that you like using? Do mention that in the comments section below to let others know.
