Obsidian_ReShade
On the other hand, some modders have been working to make The Outer Worlds look even more vibrant and lively than it originally was. The Obsidian ReShade mod does just that, improving colors, sharpening, and rendering. This mod was created by user Jb0238177 who also recommends increasing the gamma to 72% for the latest mod.
While many of The Outer Worlds' original visuals are pleasing to the eye, there's always the option to try something a little different in the name of improving the gaming experience.
This is just the .ini file, you will need the latest version of ReShade to use it. You can get it here: https://reshade.me ....

The Outer Worlds Mod - Minimal HUD 1.02
This mod turns off everything in the HUD except your HP bar, your crosshair (it cant be turned off or it's impossible to use sniper scopes and similar), your quest location icon and some essentials. No fps loss, no bans!
Character Creator Skill Changes
Character Creator Skill Changes is another mod that allows you to transform into a powerful super being right from the start of the game. As the name suggests, it gives you full control over the base skills available at character creation, as well as the number of points.
Unlimited Flaws
It adds a unique new level of difficulty beyond what is commonly found in video games. Instead of just boosting damage, creating more hostile environments, and making enemies stronger, it allows the characters' own flaws to complicate gameplay.
