Summary
- Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection was released on many platforms, but you can only mod it on PC.
- The REFramework is a crucial part of modding Monster Hunter Stories 3.
- Some of the good mods include automatically picking up resources or locking egg rarities, among others.
Although I would generally recommend playing certain games without mods, Monster Hunter Stories 3 has a few that can certainly help enhance the experience. These can either help reduce a lot of farming or be simple visual enhancements. Regardless, you will be able to find a few mods in this list that can help you out in Monster Hunter Stories 3.
Best Mods for Monster Hunter Stories 3 and How To Use Them
For now, you will have to rely on third-party modding sites to get and play mods. Download the first mod on this list, and that will let you easily manage the rest of the mods. The individual mod pages (linked below) will have the dedicated folder mentioned where they should be placed.
REFramework
Although this mod won’t have any noticeable enhancements when you open the game, it is nonetheless one of the most important ones you should get. This is a mod loader, making it essential for modding the game.
Moreover, this mod is required to run various other mods that are currently available. Thus, if you want a smooth modding journey, best get this one first.
Area Eco Level Customizer
If you are trying to get mutated Monsters in MHS3, you will quickly realise (like I did) that there is a lot of work to be done. This mod mainly revolves around raising the ecosystem ranks of different areas by managing and releasing monsters.
If you are a casual player and do not want to interact with this mechanic, this mod will let you freely customise the ecosystem to your desires.
Nest Rarity Locker
If you want new monsters to join your team, you must hatch them by raiding monster nests. This is easier said than done, since the nests are guarded by monsters as well.
Moreover, getting the egg you want can be difficult due to the different rarities. Thus, this mod is great, as it can eliminate the luck factor from the nests.
FpsUncap
This is not really a visual enhancement for gameplay, but one that can definitely be felt, especially on higher-end devices. Unfortunately, cutscenes are locked to 60 fps in the base game. This difference might be jarring if you are used to playing at a higher framerate during gameplay.
Therefore, I would highly suggest this simple addon to uncapped your framerate during cutscenes as well. Now you can experience the cinematics of the game in well beyond 60fps.
Auto Pickup
While traversing Azuria (and beyond), you will have likely picked up various items along the way. However, this might become a hassle over time, especially when you have to press the same button repeatedly.
This mod will help you out in this boring endeavour. Auto Pickup does exactly as its name suggests. It automatically picks up any resources you walk over, without needing to press a button.
Some of the mods that have not been mentioned here, but still deserve a shoutout, are the various localisation mods for the game. Over time, the language support for Monster Hunter Stories 3 is bound to grow with mods, making it more accessible.
