Elden Ring is huge, and I’m not just talking about the size of its map. The open world action RPG is a massive hit, not only selling millions of copies, but launching to near universal critical acclaim. We love it, and pretty much everyone else does, too. It’s a fantastic and challenging game set in a mysterious open world.
But just because a game is a widely beloved masterpiece doesn’t mean there isn’t room to tinker with it a bit. Immediately after its release in February, mods for Elden Ring started popping up—at first it was mostly reshades, post-processing injectors to subtly change the visual tone of the game, but it wasn’t long before bigger and more complicated mods started arriving to adjust the difficulty (in both directions), add new weapons, clothing, armor, and other items, change the HUD, overhaul the magic system, and more.
One of adds something lots of players were clamoring for: a photo mode. The Lands Between is a vast, beautiful world filled with stunning sights and bizarre creatures, and it’s hard to take it all in while fighting for your life or galloping around at breakneck speed. Not to mention the impossibility of getting one of the intricately designed bosses to stand still long enough to grab a selfie or two before it pounds you to dust.
