Grimrukh, the modder behind Dark Souls: Nightfall and creator of Dark Souls: Daughters of Ash, has added a Survival Mode to Elden Ring. Thanks to this mod, players can expect survival elements like hunger, thirst, temperature, and disease, a weapon crafting tree, and darker nights.
Here are the four key features of this unofficial Survival Mode:
- Survival: craft items to fight hunger, thirst, and temperature effects. Torrent is also nerfed.
- Weapon Tree: weapons cannot be found or bought and must be crafted from new materials and other “base” weapons.
- Diseases: you may randomly catch various diseases in different areas and must hunt for craftable cure recipes.
- Darkness: night time is much darker.
You can download the mod from here. As always, make sure to disable EasyAnticheat (Mod Engine 2 does this automatically which is what the modder suggests using).
Speaking of Elden Ring, here some other cools mods for it. Last month, we informed you about a mod that adds seamless co-op functionalities to the game. Then we have this mod that removes the awful Chromatic Aberration effect. You can also download an easier-to-use Field of View Mod. Flawless Ultrawide is another must-have mod as it enables support for ultra-wide resolutions/monitors. There is also an unofficial Photo Mode. Furthermore, this mod will unlock the game’s framerate. And lastly, this mod attempts to fix stuttering by implementing VKD3D fixes natively in DX12.
Have fun!

Lol Souls games are already about survival with those bloated item system and boss mechanics …why add more just to make a game feel like a second job when its already hard…How is this “fun”? ..smh
I know its hard to believe
But there are people who genuinely fall in love with games and will do anything to keep experiencing the content while keeping it fresh.
It reminds me of back in the day as a kid when you could replay a game a thousand times because its the only game you had.
I know its hard to believe for people who just want the new shiny thing every month.
But I believe this mod was made for the 20 new game plus players.
I think its ok to accept that in a planet of a billion plus people.
We don’t all have to be the same
Yeah man I can see that .Best example is Skyrim .My point here was grind …the good kind of grind which requires skills not micromanaging some arbitrary meter.
I don’t know about the bloated itens, yeah there is a lot of items, but usually in this game you just stick with your favorite weapon and gear.
To be honest, I never used crafting in Elden Ring in +200 hours of gameplay.
man, big up to whoever enjoys a survival mode in elden ring.
Its already kicking my a*s enough to even contemplate having to care about hunger and sh*t.
I don’t use summons.
So the bosses have been rough.
But damn I love it. Learning, growing, becoming better after each fight.
I love from soft for making this games.
Sekiro is still my number 3 game of all time.
But Elden ring is top 10
Looks awful LOL!
