First Assassin's Creed Shadows mods are here. One even removes ‘silly effects’
Mods for Assassin’s Creed Shadows are already rolling in. Here are some of the usual ones and a few unexpected surprises.
Looks like Assassin’s Creed Shadows isn’t too bad after all. Early reviews from critics and players (check ours for the full breakdown) suggest it’s still a fun AC game. Sure, it launched with a few problems like Ubisoft Connect issues, audio bugs, and fans quickly noticed cutscenes are locked at 30 FPS, but overall the response has been pretty positive. And of course, less than a day after launch there are already plenty of mods to check out.
Making AC Shadows better one mod at a time
The modding community is as active as ever, so the number of AC Shadows mods is growing by the minute. You’ve got the usual ones like optimization, HDR fixes, intro skip, and HUD-hiding mods, but there are also some pretty interesting ones popping up.
- High Graphical Fidelity Ghost of Tsushima Reshade, and as the description puts it, ‘Fixes the dumb greyness of the vanilla game and made it look more like Ghost of Tsushima.’ So now you can finally experience AC Shadows in the most vibrant colors possible.
- Simple Realistic mod makes nights darker and days brighter – because hey, why not?
- And the wildest one of them all – Remove Silly Effects.
The Remove Silly Effects mod gets rid of the white stealth outline, orange armor glow on damaged enemies, sword trails, and loot sparkles, because who wants to play with all that nonsense? The creator, X35129, is now working on removing other unnecessary indicators that are apparently ruining the immersion.
But to be honest, I get it. Some people might not mind these things, but for others, unnecessary markers and effects can be pretty annoying. And instead of just complaining, someone actually did something about it.
