About this mod
Over 70 mods integrated to give you the best Bannerlord experience. This modular modlist guide gives you the depth that the vanilla game mechanics lack. A focus on balance, realism and lore-friendly roleplaying elements has been considered. No longer will the late game feel dull, nor will the start of the game force you to play in a certain way.
- Permissions and credits
Hey everyone! thanks for your support. Unfortunately I don't have the time to update this modlist, however anyone can pick up and carry where I left off if they so wish.
The video and images included showcase some of the mod functionality included in this modlist guide.
In summary, this guide allows you to overhaul pretty much all aspects of the game. Gameplay, mechanics that add flavour and strategy to the game, visuals and quality of life mods have all been detailed in this guide. Included as well are patches for common crashes and bugs incurred in version 1.8.0 of the game. This guide is entirely modular, meaning you can pick and choose which mods you want. As stated in the title, this modlist guide is intended for Bannerlord 1.8.0. Do not worry about mod conflicts. All mods listed here work well with each other (extensive testing has been done to ensure minimal crashing).
Before starting
Read everything. Every single word in my guide is important. It is not difficult at all but if you don't take the time to read and apply everything, something will go wrong. If you have a question do not hesitate to ask it on the Posts tab, but please make sure you have read through the guide thoroughly and consulted the Troubleshooting section first, especially if you have a problem, because most of the time the solution is written here.
Modlist is intended for manual installations (do not use Vortex).
Install Instructions
While going through the mods, you will notice there are three colors (Green, Yellow and Blue) for install instructions.
- Green means that installation is simple, you just go to the files tab in a mod and download the main file (always one file), then install to your modules folder. (very simple).
- Yellow means there might be more than one file in the mod main files and requires another step or two to ensure successful installation. Pay attention to which file version you are installing in the mod files when you see this color.
- Blue means there are several steps that require your full attention. Read carefully.
Most errors will occur because users will fail to adhere to the blue and yellow instructions.
Do not worry about your load order. Dedicated load order instructions have been given for after you've finished installing all the mods you like in the guide.
For each mod, I have included a short description of what they do in a nutshell. If you want more info on a mod, click on the links provided.
SECTIONS YOU CAN SKIP
New Modders - If you have experience with installing Bannerlord mods, then skip the New Modders section.
NSFW - Ignore the NSFW section if you're not into that sort of thing.
Before beginning, please ensure you have a vanilla install of Bannerlord 1.8.0 with NO mods installed. To make sure this is the case, go to your Bannerlord/modules folder and ensure you only have the following modules:
- Native
- SandBox Core
- Sandbox
- Custom Battle
- Story Mode
- Birth and Death Options
If you have a different version of Bannerlord other than 1.8.0, revert by using the Steam betas function and then validate your game files to ensure no conflicts arise.
I know that was a mouthful but that's it! You're ready to start modding.
OnGovernorChanged Workaround
Creates exceptions to catch common crashes in Bannerlord 1.8.0

There are two options to sort the load order. Option 1 shows you the load order as a text that you can follow along with and sort it out or Option 2 you follow the load order as images. Either way it's crucial you order the load order as shown in one of the two options. Mods that you haven't installed can be ignored.
Option 1
Go to main files in this modlist and download 'Oldrim's Load Order' file. Extract the file and order your mods according to the text. The text should appear as shown below.
Option 2
Please ensure your load order in the launcher matches EXACTLY with how I've ordered it below. You will CRASH if you don't follow the load order logic.

You belong in this section if you have no idea what you're doing or haven't installed a Bannerlord mod before manually.
Here's the basics. While going through this modlist you will see me refer to the 'modules' folder. This can be located in your root Bannerlord folder. For example Steam\steamapps\common\Mount & Blade II Bannerlord/Modules. Most mods need to be extracted here.
Let's go through an example together.
""
Mod Example < click here >
Mod Description
Install main file into modules folder
""
The install instructions is asking you to install the main file into your modules folder. See the below example.
In this scenario, we have a mod called True Sieges. You need to click on the MANUAL DOWNLOAD button. Afterwards, you will have a ZIP file. Go into this zip file and you will find the folder named 'Modules'. This is very important as a lot of mods vary in their file entries. For example, if the extraction folder starts with 'Modules' then you need to only drop that folder into your Bannerlord root folder.
The other common variation, however, is that instead of the Modules folder it comes with the mod itself. For example, if you click into the modules folder for the mod we just installed then you will see a folder called TrueSieges. Mods will come in this variation as well, WITHOUT a modules folder. In this scenario you need to extract the folder INTO your modules folder, NOT your Bannerlord root folder. See the below image.
Those are the only two variations you should encounter while going through the modlist. Make sure to remember this!
That's it! You're ready to start modding. :D

Realistic Battle Mod (RBM)
This mod makes combat more realistic. Armor and damage is reworked according to experimental data. Weapons attack faster. Units parry and block more. Projectile damage is based on kinetic energy, ranged weapons use draw and projectile weight based simulation. AI tactics improved. Units climb ladders during siege. Optional unit overhaul included.
Download the main file and install into modules folder. For the option Lord Retinue Uptier, download the optional file as well and install into modules folder.
Open Source Armory, Saddlery & Weaponry
Over 1000 armour pieces included with shields, weapons and saddles. This mod is required for Calradia Expanded and Calradia Expanded Kingdoms
You will need to download the three main files:
RBM users, please go to the optional section in the mod files and download the RBM patch for Open Source Armory. This will give you three patches for the three modules introduced by the mod.
All are to be installed into the modules folder.
Calradia Expanded & Calradia Expanded Kingdoms (CEK)
introduces 8 additional Kingdoms to the world of Calradia and reforges the existing Kingdoms of Calradia and their lands to fit the Calradia Expanded Universe. Nutshell: Kingdoms, Cultures, Troop Trees and Features all based in the Calradia Expanded campaign map. The Calradia Expanded campaign map is very well fleshed out and towns/castles have been placed with strategy and immersion in mind.
You will need to join their Discord here in order to install the main files. Once you join, look for the ‘download’ tab in the ’Welcome & Info’ category. Click it and you will be directed to the latest versions for Calradia Expanded (September 19, 2022) and Calradia Expanded Kingdoms (August 20, 2022). Download both the CE and CEK files in the Google Docs links.
Once you’ve installed both into your modules folder, go to the files tab on my page and find ‘Calradia Expanded Kingdoms Patch’ under Optional Files. Download it and install the weapons.xml file into your Mount & Blade II Bannerlord\Modules\CalradiaExpandedKingdoms\ModuleData\items folder.
Banner Kings
Banner Kings is a suite of features to deepen non-combat gameplay. Populations, feudal titles, village projects, settlement management overhaul & more. Basically adds Crusader Kings mechanics into Bannerlord. (users have reported instability in some playthroughs, install this mod at your own discretion)
download 'Banner Kings' file and install to modules folder
For those with the Calradia Expanded Kingdoms mod installed, download the CEK version for 'Banner Kings' in the main files instead.
Once mod is in your modules, download 'Banner Kings Assets' file and extract to the BannerKings module.
- Bannerkings and Serve as a Soldier are incompatible. If you want both mods, you could play with Serve as a Soldier early campaign then enable BannerKings for the mid-late campaign.
Diplomacy
More freedom for NPC and player politics, included are civil wars, alliances and other diplomatic mechanics
Download the 1.8.0 version and install into modules folder.
Fourberie
Expands criminal and gang-related roleplaying in Bannerlord. Start with a few scams in town, build up your relation with local gang leaders and get access to more dirty jobs. Brand the title 'kingslayer'. Become powerful enough to start your own criminal enterprise.
Install main file into modules folder
Life in Calradia
LIC adds many new features like the ability to purchase, manage, and upgrade your own housing and taverns, the ability to craft and farm at your houses, and adding tons of new ways to interact with your companions to help bring the game to life.
Install main file into modules folder
Serve as a Soldier
Allows you to serve as a soldier in lord armies with a bit of roleplaying mechanics as well.
Install the main file into your modules folder.
install the SAS Patch (under optional files on my page) into the modules folder as well. Make sure to load the SAS patch below Serve as a Soldier module. This fixes a common crash that the author hasn’t addressed yet.
Please note that even with the SAS Patch this mod is unstable and can cause crashing. Use at your own discretion.
Distinguished Service
This mod allows basic soldiers, who meet certain criteria, to ascend to companion-dom following battle. Now the troops you've had by your side since their peasant days can be rewarded with cushy governor jobs.

True Noble Opinion
Have you ever noticed how everyone in a clan seems to have the same opinion? Ever had a noble that likes you join only for his relation to reset to zero?
Apparently, TW decided the only opinion that matters is the clan leader (even in a character encyclopedia). This mod fixes this by giving every noble their own "real" relation.

True Quality Modifiers

There are two options to sort the load order. Option 1 shows you the load order as a text that you can follow along with and sort it out or Option 2 you follow the load order as images.

Go to main files in this modlist and download 'Oldrim's Load Order' file. Extract the file and order your mods according to the text. The text should appear as shown below.

Vanilla Crashes
some crashes being reported are Vanilla-caused crashes, has nothing to do with the mods. With that being said, the patches included do their best to resolve said crashes.
Bannerlord Version
Use 1.8.0, not 1.8.1
Moreover, please ensure mod versions are for 1.8.0
Calradia Expanded
Fixed: day/night cycle working again
Fixed: two villages locations being funky, Takor and Lavenia now working as they should be
Fixed: lots of bridges being in the right places.
Fixed: two Akisers bug
Added: lots of detail work has now been readded. It was removed due to crashing in older versions.
Known Issue: a bunch of trees don't show up
Known Issue: Some buildings are sunk a bit below ground level
Known Issue: Skybox is misaligned
Known Issue: a floating desert village (being looked at)
Ensure you have the latest version. If it doesn't allow you to enable the mod in BUTRLoader, go to CE's submodule.xml file and delete decimals after '1.8.0' for the Native, SandboxCore, Sandbox and Storymode dependencies. It should look like this after you're done
