What mods have you installed for Hollow knight silksong, and how has your experience been since?

I installed one that gives me 1000 rosaries when I press f3. I came to the conclusion that being able to buy things was more about grinding than anything else, and I didn’t enjoy it.
Technically cheating I guess but I don’t think it really makes the game any easier.
I might not be as far (just past act 1), but I haven’t felt the need to grind rosaries (yet). A bunch of times I’d be exploring for an hour and notice I have like 500+ rosaries, and then I get them made into strands till I have to spend them. I don’t think I’ve seen anything on sale for more than 800 rosaries, Maybe it’s different later in the game but at least in the beginning of the game, it doesn’t feel like a chore.
I suppose my experience may be different than others, I’m at the tail end of Act 3 and I have yet to grind for rosaries or shards. I remember people saying I’d need to do that, and I never have.
My second run through, I knew what I needed to buy vs what I could come back for later.
Didn’t need to farm rosaries until the end of Act 2, when it was easy because of the tall bugs outside the gay robot boss room.
There’s about 3 different “no double-damage” mods that I’ve tried, for a boss I just couldn’t be assed to try legit, anymore. They all seemed to work, fine.
There was a “respawn outside the boss room, instead of at a bench” mod that I installed for a particular boss (you can probably guess), but I can’t really speak about whether it works, cause I happened to beat it on the next try after installing.
There was an “infinite shards” mod I tried, but it didn’t work at all, and I didn’t see any others, so be wary of that one.
Referring to mods available on Nexus Mods, BTW.
Last Judge or the Bilewater boss?
Last Judge runback didn’t really bother me. Just sprint straight out, with a few properly-timed jumps, and you skip every enemy and reach the boss in about 30 seconds.
Bilewater was nonsense, even after learning how to run it perfectly. And I LIKE Bilewater, as an area.
Did you find the close bench in Bilewater? I think I would have quit the game there if I hadn’t.
Yeah, I’m well versed in Team Cherry’s habit of hiding stuff behind the edge of a body of water.
Bilewater boss isn’t that hard once you realize you can stand in the water and spam ranged attacks at him. The arena fight preceding him is harder.
Agreed, the fight itself I didn’t find too difficult. Just the runback. And I got REALLY good at the runback.
Are there even mods and where are they?
Yes, there is actually quite a few so far! Check out https://thunderstore.io/c/hollow-knight-silksong/?ordering=top-rated
There is another popular mod hosting website too, which may have more options to choose from, but I hesitate to recommend it due to the general controversy I’ve seen as of late.
Is it a nexus of sorts?
I mean, they host mods and have a mod manager. If you’ll call that a „Nexus“, then sure. I personally find it better than Nexus because you can do pretty much everything from within their mod manager (including editing config files) and they don’t lock anything behind a premium subscription, but they don’t support any AAA games.
It’s moddable?
Relaxed mod. Sorry.
Only thing I’ve been running personally has been Reno DX, to add HDR while not departing from the original look. Nice to cleanup all the colour banding on the dynamic lights in dark areas, such as the constant spotlight on Hornet. And yes, it works just fine through Proton, although I had to install it with a prepped zip file from some Reddit thread.
Here’s my last judge fight if you want to see the results (note that YT only offers HDR output on HDR compatible displays).
