# The Original Essentials Collection

Welcome to Worldly Improvements. This is the Vortex Collection version of the initial guide. As this was the first Collection released in the Essentials category (and coincidentally the first Vortex Collection for MHW ever), It contains only the mods I dubbed as "Essentials." As stated in the guide, the Essentials portion will only cover mods that are bare necessities. Most of these should be used even if you don't plan on heavily modding MHW, in my humble opinion. These mods should greatly improve your PC experience, while neither deviating from Capcom's intended game play nor affecting others online.

- **Purist friendly!** No new monsters, combos, gear, items, or gameplay changes are included.
- **No harm in testing!** All included mods are safe to add to (or remove from) any existing saves.
- **Safe for online play!** None of these mods will get you banned, nor affect anyone else in co-op.

There is also [the original Steam Guide as an alternative](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2541815654), should you prefer modding the game on your own.

# Disclaimer

By using mods, online or off, you do so at your own risk. Because of this, you might want to look into [how to backup saves](https://steamcommunity.com/app/582010/discussions/0/1737760452988743211/) that you plan on keeping regularly. Blah blah blah, lorem ipsum, no warranties, not my fault if a Capcom update breaks mods, yadda yadda.

# Happy hunting! :)

Worldly Improvements

Bare essentials for QoL and performance improvements. Vanilla-like and safe for multiplayer.
