The best mods for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 for graphics, saves, hardcore and much more

Although the second part of the Kingdom Come series was released on February 4, the first user modifications have already been released for it. They will make a great game even better or just customize it for yourself. You will find the most interesting mods in our article.
It is noteworthy that most of the modifications remove hardcore elements of the game: they add quick saves and a sight, make fights with melee weapons easier, and much more. A similar situation was with the original Kingdom Come: Deliverance. But there are modifications that make the passage even more difficult, for example, they remove the interface, map markers, and a compass.
How to install mods on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
- Open the game folder. By default, it is located at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\KingdomComeDeliverance2.
- Create a Mods directory.
- Download the archive with the modification and unzip it.
- Move the files to the Mods folder.
- Run Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
Some mods are installed differently. In this case, you will find detailed instructions in the description.
Improved graphics
These modifications improve the quality of graphics in the game using ReShade technology. For example, Realistic Kingdom Visuals removes the yellowish tint that is present in the basic version of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. As a result, the picture will become more photorealistic.
Installation order:
- Download the archive with the mod.
- Move the contents to the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2\Bin\Win64MasterMasterSteamPGO folder.
- Install ReShade from the official website.
- Run this program.
- Select KingdomCome.exe as the game, and set ReShadePreset.ini as the preset.
- Finish the installation.
- Launch the game.
- Press the Home button and select ReShadePreset.ini.
If you prefer a more contrasting picture, use the KCD 2 Comics Visual Reshade mod. The installation instructions are listed above.
Vibrant colors are also offered by the Vibrant Colorful Life Reshade modification.
Fast Launch — Automatically skip intro videos
Removes all intro videos and allows you to go straight to the main menu of the game. A great way to save time when launching frequently.
Cutscene FPS Unlock — Unlimited FPS During Cutscenes
By default, the frame rate of all in-game cutscenes in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is set to 30 frames per second. With the Cutscene FPS Unlock mod, you can remove this limitation. The FPS value will be limited only by the capabilities of your computer.
Installation procedure:
- Make a backup copy of the Engine.pak file from the game folder. This is optional, but recommended.
- Download the archive with the mod and unzip it.
- Move the fix_fps.bat file to the KingdomComeDeliverance2\Engine directory.
- Run this script. The installation will be automatic.
No Letterbox — removes black bars during cutscenes
The black bars at the top and bottom of the screen make the videos more cinematic. If you don't like this solution, you can expand the cutscenes to full screen using this modification.
Only Duels and Easy Combat — simplified sword fights
The combat system of the Kingdom Come duology requires mastering. If you find it too complicated and unintuitive, use the Only Duels and Easy Combat mod. The light version of the modification does not allow enemies to block the master's blows, and the full version removes the ability to reflect your attacks.
More Stamina — Faster Stamina Recovery
A simple but useful modification that allows you to replenish your stamina bar faster. And during combat, it is spent more slowly.
And if you don’t want to waste stamina on jumping, use the No Jump Stamina mod.
Simplified Skill Training
We have included two mods in this section. The first one makes Radovan an ideal teacher who knows everything. You can learn all the perks in the game from him.
The second modification reduces the cost of learning skills several times.
Do you consider Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 a hardcore game?
More XP or Less XP — speed up or slow down leveling
The main goal of this modification is to make leveling faster. But if you want, you can, on the contrary, slow it down, so that the passage becomes even more hardcore.
Sectorial Lockpicking — Easy Lockpicking
After installing this mod, sectors will appear during the hack, which will allow you to see the safe zone for working with a lockpick. It will be much easier to open locks.
Unlimited Weight Radius XP — unlimited inventory
Removes restrictions related to the amount of weight carried. You will not be able to spend pumping points on increasing the inventory, but invest them in other skills. As a bonus, the distance at which you will see and collect useful plants increases.
Totally unnecessary Reticle for Bows and Crossbows — sight for bows and crossbows
In the original version of the game, aiming when shooting from crossbows and bows has to be done by eye. This modification adds a sight in the form of a small dot. It allows you to understand where your arrow or bolt will fly.
Stay Clean for Longer — the ability to stay clean longer
After installing the mod, Henry will get dirty less, so you will no longer need to wash often. Previously, the author released a similar modification for the first Kingdom Come, but now he has adapted it for the sequel.
Easier Reputation — quick reputation gain
Increases the number of reputation points for each positive action and allows you to quickly reach a high value of this parameter. Let us remind you that it affects the prices of merchants, options in dialogues, access to training certain skills and individual tasks.
Remove Fog of war — fully open map
A modification that clears the fog of war from your map. As a result, you will be able to see the entire open world in the game already at the start of the passage.
Convenient Food and Herbs — Increase the shelf life of food and herbs
With this mod, food and herbs will stay fresh and edible longer. Here you can also choose a mode in which the food will never spoil.
Unlimited Saving 2 — quick saves
Allows you to save the game with the press of a button, without using schnapps. A useful feature for those who don't want to waste time making a strong drink.
The Not-So-Smart AutoSave 2 — automatic saves
Makes "autosaves" at certain intervals. Allows you to save your progress even if you forgot to drink schnapps in time and left the game.
Instant Herb Picking 2 — Fast Herb Picking
This mod will save you a lot of time. It removes the animation of pulling grass out of the ground while collecting useful plants.
1st Person Herb Picking 2 — first-person herb picking
And if you want the camera to not change to third-person view while collecting, use the 1st Person Herb Picking 2 modification. Thanks to it, the entire process will take place from Henry's point of view.
Hardcore Mods
We decided to put such modifications in a separate category. They can be useful not only for those who like difficulties, but also for those who are chasing full immersion.
Toggle HUD — removes the interface.
No life-stamina bars on HUD — removes health and stamina bars from the interface.
Toggle Hide Compass or Hide Forever — hides the compass.
No Player Map Marker — removes the player's location marker on the map.
Scout Hardcore Mode — removes attack and defense directions during combat, and also disables fast movement. At the same time, the interface becomes minimalistic.
