Summary
Avowedhas received relatively good reviews since it was released, with players and critics alike praising the rich yet simplistic world created by developers Obsidian Entertainment. The game is a pretty standard RPG, offering plenty of exploration and content for players to enjoy. However,Avoweddoesn’t really do anything different to make it a standout RPG. One of the reasons for this is the various mechanics, which can sometimes leave a bit to be desired.
Mods are a great way to tackle this issue if it is something that has become particularly frustrating during a playthrough. There areplenty of modsout there that tweak certain gameplay mechanics. Not only that, but there are also visual mods that can make a big difference too. With this in mind, the following noteworthy mods forAvowedare sure to enhance any player’s experience.
1Better Attributes
Created by Caites
One of the most popular mods forAvowedis the Better Attributes mod. Created by Nexus Mods user Caites, who has created a lot of the best mods out there for the game, Better Attributes increases the bonuses that players get regarding thevarious attributes.
For instance, with the Dexterity bonus, players receive a buff that gives 20% quicker growth of attack/cast/parkour/consumables. This buff is usually increased from 4%/7%, but with the mod, this increases to 5%/8.5%. It might not seem like a huge change, but it all makes a difference in the long run.

The Ultimate Engine Tweaks mod is the first of a few mods on this list that seeks to improve the performance andvisuals ofAvowed. This mod features plenty of improvements, such as better picture clarity and removing problems with stuttering.
It’s also available to download for the Xbox Game Pass version ofAvowedas well as the Steam version, which is sure to appeal to Xbox players who are having problems with visuals or performance issues.
3More Lockpicks
This is a pretty self-explanatory mod, as are all the mods created by Nexus Mods user Caites. Lockpicks are a handy tool inAvowed, but merchants don’t have a lot of them in stock, especially when it comes to merchants found early in the game.
The amount of lockpicksa player can obtain is increased by x10, so players will get three rather than one, thirty rather than ten, and so on. This mod is handy to avoid having to constantly teleport between merchants to buy more lockpicks when their stock has refreshed.
4Better Companions
Next is another mod from Caites that improves thecompanions in the game, allowing them to be much more useful in fights. In the base game, they are easily knocked out and don’t do much in combat. This mod seeks to rectify that issue in two particular ways.
The mod works by giving companions significantly strong base damage and health, along with reasonably better base hits and ability cooldowns.
5Optimized Tweaks AVD

Next is another mod designed to aid with performance issues and visual problems withAvowed. The mod works by altering several of the variables within the Unreal Engine, leading to a range of improvements in features, such as memory management and streaming management.
This is also a great choice for those looking for a mod that optimizes the efficiency of both the GPU and the CPU.
6Better Carry Weight And Encumbrance
One of the most frustrating elements of role-playing games tends to be the limits oninventory spaceand carrying weight.Avowedis no exception to this, and this next mod targets this issue effectively.
The Better Carry Weight and Encumbrance mod makes the inventory space system inAvoweda little less harsh, allowing players to hold much more before they are encumbered. As well as increasing the base carry weight, the mod also removes movement penalties when players are encumbered.
7More Ingredients
Collecting resources is a relatively standard mechanic for role-playing games, and this is also the case inAvowed. This mod can make collecting resources much easier and more manageable, as it increases the number of resources that can be found while exploring.
The mod works mainly with loot found on bodies or in containers, but players can also select the More Pickables optional version of the mod which works specifically with pickable items, such as throwables, and food.
