Best Wuthering Waves Mods and how to use them on PC
Mods are always a great way to prolong the life of a video game and make it more interesting and varied. Naturally, Wuthering Waves is no exception to this, and luckily there are many mods for you to try out. Let's find out how to use them on your PC. The best mods for Wuthering Waves This is a list of popular and safe mods to install. They will not get you banned for cheating nor cause any significant issues. Improve Performance and Visuals Image via Nexus Mods This is one of the most popular mods for Wuthering Waves and not by accident. By installing the Improve performance and visuals mod, you can make the game run better on your PC without having to fiddle around with settings or obscure options. The mod will improve the shadow resolution of your character and prevent FPS drops while turning the camera around which can often be a big problem if you are trying to react quickly to enemies showing up. Distant objects will also be reduced, thus improving the overall framerate. Animated loading screens Image via Game Banana If you are a bit bored with the classic loading screens of the game, this mod saves the day. Animated Static loading screens will add tons of new ones for you. It is a really simple script and a 2 GB download to add a bit of variety to the game. Also, good news, since all screens featured in the mod are SFW. But if you are not satisfied and want to add your own, the modder includes very simple instructions to make your own loading screens if you want, just with new images or videos. Better Graphics Image via Game Nexus This is another mod that aims to provide Better Graphics for Wuthering Waves. As opposed to simply improving the visuals, this one targets some specific options that are now unlocked, allowing you to raise the overall graphics quality. For example, after installing the mod, you can enhance the TAA (anti-aliasing which makes the game look smoother), improve the ray tracing graphics, adjust the render distance of objects that are far away from your character, and adjust colors to look better. Quality of Life Shortcuts Image via Game Nexus This is a simple mod that makes overall play much better, especially if you spend hours each day in Wuthering Waves. Installing Quality of Life shortcuts will add some much-needed keyboard shortcuts for several actions. For example, by pressing CapsLock and a number from one to five, you can switch to another team directly. Plus, Capslock and Q/W can zoom your view. Finally, pressing capslock + J will open an Echo Selection for the active character. These will all save you quite a bit of time! Intro Skip Image via Game Nexus Intro Skip does what it says on the tin: it will allow you to skip all the intro screens and warnings, so you can simply get into the meat of Wuthering Waves. Necessary? Well not really, but if you do play a lot of it and are experimenting with mods and different settings, this one will save you quite a lot of time and frustration. New Fonts Image via Game Nexus While this doesn't really feel like a required download, we quite like having the option to select different fonts while playing Wuthering Waves. Simply select your font at the start of the game and stick with your favorite. Thanks to a rich selection of fonts such as Montserrat Bold and Pocket Monk, the mod helps with readability and screens filled with data will look much more pleasant. How to install WWMI in Wuthering Waves While the mods we have in our list all have their own method of installation, mostly involving unzipping files in the main directory of the game, if you are looking to import 3D models for your characters, you will need to install WWMI. This program has been at the center of discussion often, with people blaming it for ruining the overall performance of the game, plus often being recognized by antivirus programs to be suspect. So, while we will tell you how to install and use it, be careful in using it especially after the launch of version 2.0.

So, while we will tell you how to install and use it, be careful in using it especially after the launch of version 2.0.
Follow these steps to install and use WWMI:
- Install the XXMI Launcher from the download page.
- After installation, select Wuthering Waves from the list of games to mod.
- Finally, the installation program will ask for the path where the game is installed (you can find it in the settings of the game).
Once installed, run the game and click on the dots next to the Start button, then click on "open Mods folder." You are now free to start extracting the outfit mods you want in there. Run the game, wait for it to load, and press F10 to close the window that will appear.

If you are still seeing it as glitched, you can try to download and install the WWMI fix which, put in the same directory as the game, can be run each time you put in a new mod to ensure they will work correctly, instead of being glitched.
If you are experiencing performance issues, big FPS drops, and other general performance problems after installing WWMI, then chances are your PC is not powerful enough to run it. Consider uninstalling it if the problems persist.
