Best Mods for Distant World Universe. The mod adding more races is 'DW Extended'. There are other graphic mods like 'DAS Chrome' or 'GEM' improving the UI. Note that GEM isn't compatible with Universe and require some digging to fix it. I made my own graphical ModPack based on GEM, DAS and a few others (but not DW Extended). I will happily provide the link if asked in private.
Mod Creation in Distant WorldsWith the Distant Worlds Universe expansion release, much of the content can now be modified, allowing you to customize your game experience.Want to add your own alien races to the game? Maybe you want to predefine your own characters that appear in the game? Do you have some custom ship pictures you want to use in the game? Or maybe you just want to hear different music while playing the game? All of these changes are possible in Distant Worlds.The Distant Worlds Modding Guide describes which content you can customize, and explains how to do it.

Some of the Modding Guide released with the game is a little unspecific, and has been expanded on below:. Modding Research.
Modding Images. Modding Sound Effects. Modding Races.
I already did a mod list in the feedback section for mods I'm using in my front page AAR but per request I created this to keep track of all the DW mods. Almost all of these mods require Distant Worlds Universe.While Distant Worlds Universe made great leaps in modding capability, and has even more since release, its not the most modular system. Some of the mods may also require you to merge.txt files together in order for them to work properly, I highly suggest downloading Notepad and get the compare plugin (can be downloaded from within notepad).Required Mods:For every vanilla theme game I play, this mod is a requirement. The new races Haree's added fit seamlessly into the existing ones. I originally started using it to replace the existing race images since I really don't like the vanilla ones, but the new races have grown on me over time.Balance mods:I haven't been able to spend much time with this one yet but from running some AI only game it does seem to improve how the AI plays. Comes with a patch for Distant Worlds Extended.For normal play this mod has been supplanted by the AI Improvement mod. But I am using part of this mod in my AAR.
It makes a lot of balance changes but I chose to only use the hyper drive speed because I don't like the 200 additional research projects it adds. I don't mind modders adding new projects, but 200 seems over the top IMO.andI've always thought that wonders in DW where over powered. The reason I didn't use the new wonders was because I didn't know what sort of overall balance effect they would have when I started.Graphic Mods:Used this because HD planet textures are never a bad thing, if your system can handle them.Hasn't been updated since late 2012, but with some tweaking can be made to work with Universe.Miscellaneous Mods:I really hate the numbered ship naming for escorts, frigates, and destroyers so i sue both of Shark7 ship name mods and a US ship names that I did myselfComplete Overhauls:One of the best mods released so far for Universe. I wish they would go further in overhauling the game, there is still alot of vanilla techs and components that don't fit IMO but from what they have stated that's not their goal. Still an excellent mod, and it provides an excellent base for those who want to do their own personal tweaks to make it more (or less) cannon.I haven't played this one personally, and I'm not a huge warhammer fan, but i know others here are fans of it.If there is any other question you have I would be happy to answer them. The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own.
