Best Conan Exiles Mods 2026

Yea, while I’m not offended that you failed to mention any of my mods :joy: that list looks like the same AI generated slop lists you get from searching ā€œbest conan modsā€ in google.

This isn’t to say there’s anything wrong with the mods in particular, just the compilation itself seems.. familiar.

There are also at this moment 4654 mods on the steam workshop and not ā€œ10,000+ā€ and many many more of them ā€œactually workā€ than 15.. I personally have over 30 working ones on there :smiley:


So… um… at this point I have to ask… why are you trying to make AI slop content to drive Conan players towards that site? Is there a money angle here or just trying to get more players on your server?
I mean the item database you posted on reddit is one thing as people might find a use for it, but making sensationalist AI articles.. idk.

Hi first I’m sorry your mods didn’t get into the list. At the votings section you can suggest a mod I will add it to the list and people can vote. I will consider the votings in the new list.

I’m trying to make usefull stuff for the community like the item database and also this 2026 mod guide for server admins.

Thank you for the Feedback and a Happy New Year

Alright, fair enough :slight_smile: that’s always welcome, was just wondering if there’s some other angle as even the OP post seemed AI generated with all the little icons and formatting etc. which made it seem a bit disingenuous saying that you’ve done all the testing when it gives off the first impression of ā€œchatgpt, make me a post about the best conan exiles modsā€ and even getting small details massively wrong like the number of steam workshop mods - typical mistake ai would make.

But yea, that’s just feedback like you said and might help to improve on the next one :slight_smile:

Cheers!

minus the needles :joy: I don’t have those, what are they supposed to be anyway?

I think the needles are supposed to represent the vaccinations that governments required during the Covid outbreak. Those who refused to comply with government mandates, even when it was against their own personal medical advice, frequently lost their jobs (even in military service). Thus, I think that represents ā€œcomplianceā€ with government authority (aka ā€œmindless submissionā€) regardless of the consequences to one’s self.

Beau just stop it!

No there is no angle of monetizing - no registration, no ads, nothing. I’m just a conan fan.

Yea, it’s probably that :stuck_out_tongue: was wondering whether it’s supposed to be hormones or something cuz I forgot how some people are still this upset about complying with perfectly reasonable temporary measures just because the government was the one telling them. Explains the hate for my mast thou :joy:

You have the mask, you got the vaccines, and you are woke.

Well, I checked out the site and I got a gigantic popup ad blocking my screen and promoting your server.

I guess you didn’t consider your own ads as ads.. but they are and they’re very disruptive.
Ads on the side like we used to have back in the day are totally acceptable imo., but anything that jumps out at you, covers content, disrupts use is not nice.

This is where modern websites all fail, they think this is ā€œnormalā€ and ā€œokayā€ because the advertising industry normalized it, but the more they push them, the more users put effort into avoiding / blocking them causing actual click-through rate to plummet

Yup! I have the mask, didn’t get any covid vaccines and woke after my alarm wakes me and I get some coffee :hot_beverage: :slight_smile:

This is a pop-up which should just appear once showing more content of the website you are visiting.

Does it pop up more than once? Tha would be a mistake.

I didn’t wait around to find out as I closed it after getting it once :slight_smile:

Once is too many for anything that pops up and blocks content that’s not a first time tutorial or in any way helpful to what I’m doing and instead is trying to get me to click on an ad that I wasn’t looking for.
I get why you would want to add that, but imo. it’s counter-productive, people who are looking for a server would see it even if you had a completely separate half-hidden menu option called ā€œLooking for a server?ā€ and list all of that there instead of shoving it in everyone’s face :slight_smile:

I did see another notification-style popup before that on the bottom right and even that felt disruptive to me, though others might be okay with that since the content was still visible, idk.

Can’t say I use any of top 5, save for Fashion… which is installed souly for 2 features. Since Base Game Transmog handles alot of it. (sadly as cool as broken apart armors are, it crashes game enough I kinda stopped using it. ) Mostly to hide parts or tools. =/

Pipi wasn’t super friendly with SP, never heard of EEWA, (passing over it, doesn’t really sell me…sure its good for those that want it)

Emberlight is neat, mostly used it for thralls, but Edit Appearance does that too.. and less changes. Alot of items it added are also added by other mods. Didn’t find a use for changing building colors. (which is weird, since I love building..)

Better Thralls.. Fall Damage is fixed base game? I play via controller so whistle command is non-working. =/ Mod to increase follower size.. Never found a use for this one.

Be nice if some of map edits got finished.. few of those that I wanted to use. Most of them never got finished.

Surprised Improved Quality of Life isn’t top.. alot of nice options.

Master of Puppets, cause I HATE RNG on stats and perks.

Beyond Decor fills in nicely for majority of items.

Guess time and votes will tell..

Ok that you feel disrupted is not wanted. I will consider to change it if more people are giving a similar feedback. Thank you again for the feedback. I take them all serious, to improve the website and make it a nice experience. See you somewhere in the Exiled Lands

You support the LGBT.
