Wrong!Sons of the Forestpresents you with an island infested with demons, cannibals, mutants, and some rogue personnel in silver jumpsuits that smack you unconscious right after you crash your fancy Puff Corp helicopter. What’s worse, billionaire daddy is dead, billionaire mommy is missing, and billionaire daughter has grown some extra limbs. To survive, you need tobuild your base, manage your resources, forage for food, and do everything else. Lucky enough, these mods are here to help you make it through the night.
10Better Lighting
Making your way through an infested forest in the dead of night can be tough, especially when you’re completely on your own, with all manners of monsters out to get you, and you have to constantly restock your torches along with everything else.

Setting upLet There Be LightandClear and Vibrantcan be lifesavers, especially for players who are uneasy with the dark. Both mods enhance the game’s light settings with shaders, making your environment more visible, even in caves and underground tunnels.
9Eagle Eyes
If you ever get tired of switching out your hold items to use your binoculars, or happen to lose them somewhere, theSimple Zoommod can come in handy. It can also help you gain ground by spotting locations from really far away using the ALT keybind.
This is a relatively simple mod that adds a quality of life feature, but could also save your life by helping you scout ahead.
8Play In Third Person
Slashing demons and cannibals can be overwhelming, especially when they’re right there, all up in your face. Installing theCamera Perspective Changemod can take the edge off for some, and make shooting a lot more immersive for others who may prefer to take a gander at their surroundings while fighting off a mob of wild cannibals.
This mod is especially useful if you don’t like playing with a companion like Kelvin orVirginia, who often watch your six when you’re being ambushed.
7Go Easy On Your Machine
Maxing out your settings may be tempting, especially if you have a curved display set up with surround sound and want to get the full survival experience. If you’re looking to get in on it but don’t have that much RAM or GPU to spare, installing theOptimized Settings For Low-End PCmight be for you.

AFresh Navy Startwill also get you started with the rope gun, rebreather, and shovel for an edge over your enemies.
If you’re a stickler for story, theCrash Site Selectormod will also let you control where you land, so you get exactly what you’re looking for.
5Grow Back Those Trees
If you’re one of the few who make it to the helicopter with Timmy and Eric Le Blanc, but choose to stay behind and figure out what happened to Barbara Puffton, theEnvironment Restorationmod might be well suited for your long-term needs.
This mod restores vegetation to the way it was before, without resetting your building progress, allowing you to tear down as many trees as you want for your precious base and resources without running out of wood, or endangering the environment.

There are a ton of mods out there that are designed to get you all the items with none of the perilous walking: TheInventoryandBackpackmods get you all the food, weapons, and ammunition the game has to offer, and theMax Inventory Itemsmod lets you max out their settings, so you don’t have to worry about running out of bullets when you’re swarmed.
Once you have everything laid out nice and neat, theFaster Inventory Planningmod helps you enjoy it, giving you control over the camera’s panning speed, cursor speed, and FOV.
3Rewrite History
This is perhaps a mod we all want in real life, too. TheSaveGame Editormod not only lets you edit your save files, but also change how many items you have in your inventory. That way, if you ever happen to find yourself stuck somewhere with a little something missing, you can always save your game file, and alter reality to your advantage.

This essentially lets you conjure up any item you want at any time.

Tired of walking back and forth all over the map to complete various game objectives? TheWarpsmod saves you all the walking and lets you teleport across the map using custom warps that you set up at your desired locations.
Basically, you’re building portals across the island.

For some people, all of the above isn’t enough. And that’s perfectly fine, because the modding community knows your heart’s deepest desires. All you have to do is installDebug Consoleto enter full-on god mode.
This mod gives you access to all of the game’s meters, controls, and item bars, letting you edit it to your liking and change reality to whatever you want.
