Recommended QoL/minor addons.

[sajberhippien]

Hiya all. Thought I'd start this thread as a discussion on what, if any, mods you feel are "essential" or highly recommended to use. The mods that make the game smoother to play, or that add what you feel should have been part of the game to begin with, without changing the overall feel of the game or where the focus is game-changing content (e.g. classes, races).

I tend to play periodically, sometimes with long times in between, and the addons available change a lot over time. Right now I have an almost clean install, so I'm wondering if there's any I really ought to get.

Personally, there's two things I find essential to me:
- Zomnibus. There's just so many little things that it solves.
- Some form of escort mod. I think the escorts are just bad game design. either Escorts Enhanced or No Escort Quests. I'm not sure if Escorts Enhanced still works as it's so long since it updated, and if there's a newer mod with similar functionality I'd love to hear about it. In the absence of that, I prefer to have no escorts than to have them frustratingly die, even though it makes the game harder.

Here's the ones I can't play without:

• Nekarcos's QoL #1
• Passive Cooldowns
• Faster Run/Rest/Explore
• Go To Landmark
• Improved Autoexplore and Rest
• Enhanced Object Compare

and Honorable Mentions:

• Talent Point Planner
• Select First Escort
• Nekarcos's QoL #7
• Quick Drown NPCs
• Streamlined Early Game

Opt-zone and Nur Kit by zizzo are my requires. Zizzo is a miracle worker and writes... a lot of utility addons.

By order of importance :
Nekarcos's QoL 1 : effect display
Part of Zomnibus (i take Zomnibus because i'm lazy but only use those) :
Go to landmark (stop hiding Agrimley!)
Enhance object compare
Enhance wield replace
And just started using Restart sustains, seems nice

My favorites, not mentioned above:
Plenum Tooltip: Enhanced actor tooltip display for TOME - essentially better tooltip, highly recommended on insane+ difficulties.
Extended Auto-use - Auto use cases and order. Sadly, new version of this addon Custom Auto Use , it's not compatible with 1.5.x.
Store Wish List - part of ZOmnibus Addon Pack, if you doesn't need whole.
