If you bought Resident Evil Requiem on PC and want to try some community creations that change or improve parts of the survival horror experience, there are several mods worth checking out.
These mods can make the game easier, adjust the camera, or give players more control over gameplay settings.
Better Crafting
The first mod is called Better Crafting, and it is a good choice for players who want a small improvement to the crafting system without using extreme cheats like infinite ammo.
Instead of changing the materials needed to craft items, the mod increases the number of resources you receive after crafting. For example, crafting pistol ammunition normally gives 8 bullets, but with this mod it increases to 20 bullets.
Because the crafting requirements stay the same, the system still feels balanced, but players get more value from the resources they collect. If you want crafting to feel a bit more rewarding without completely breaking the game’s balance, this mod could be a good option.
FOV Controls
If you prefer a higher field of view (FOV) and do not like that the game does not include a built-in option to change it, the FOV Controls mod may be perfect for you.
This mod works as a plugin for REFramework and adds a special in-game menu. Through this menu, players can adjust different camera and view settings to better match their preferences. It gives players direct control over the in-game FOV, allowing them to set a custom gameplay FOV and a separate FOV for aiming down sights (ADS).
The mod also lets players adjust the transition speed between these two FOV values, and it includes a quick toggle that allows switching between first-person and third-person views. These settings only affect gameplay, meaning cutscenes and the in-game user interface remain unchanged.
Proper 3rd Person Camera Mod
Players who prefer the classic third-person camera style instead of the “over-the-shoulder” view used in Resident Evil Requiem might enjoy the Proper 3rd Person Camera Mod.
This mod moves the camera farther away when third-person view is active, which can be useful if you do not like the close-in over-the-shoulder camera used in recent Resident Evil games. Instead of changing the field of view, the mod simply increases the camera’s orbit distance, pulling the view slightly farther back.
Important gameplay elements remain unchanged: wall collision still works normally, and both aiming and cutscenes behave the same as in the original game. Players can also adjust the camera distance in real time through the REFramework menu, making it easy to find the view that feels most comfortable.
Auto Item Reveal
Do you ever worry that you might have missed an important item while exploring, such as healing items, ammo boxes, or other useful resources?
The Auto Item Reveal mod solves this problem. It shows all collectible items on the map, even if you have not walked close to them yet. This ensures that all item icons appear on the in-game map, making it much easier to keep track of available loot during your playthrough.
The mod reveals items dynamically as you unlock new areas of the map. If a location requires a key or a story event to access it, the items inside that area will only appear after you unlock or enter that section. This makes it much easier to find every resource available in the game while also preventing the map from showing items in places you have not reached yet, so the exploration still feels natural.
RE9 Combat Tweaks
Players who are not fully satisfied with the game’s limited difficulty options may want to try RE9 Combat Tweaks.
This mod allows players to adjust several combat settings that control how challenging the game is. With a few simple options, you can change how strong the main character is and how much damage enemies deal, allowing you to customize the difficulty to match your play style.
It adds a slider that lets you change the stagger chance, which controls how often enemies get staggered during combat. You can also scale the damage you deal and the damage you take, as the mod connects directly to the game’s HP system to adjust combat more precisely.
If you still haven’t tried Resident Evil Requiem and are wondering whether it’s worth buying, you can read our review here. We gave the game a 7 out of 10, stating:
While Resident Evil Requiem is still far more enjoyable than RE7 and RE8 for its gameplay alone, it’s a far cry from every other entry in the series so far that feels a bit lazy, uninspired, and obsessed with spectacle, even if it’s still fun to play.
Resident Evil Requiem is available now on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series XIS Switch 2, and PC via Steam.
