Short answer: yes — there is an active PC modding scene for Monster Hunter Wilds (tools and packs are available on sites like Nexus Mods), but Capcom has publicly warned that unauthorized modification of game data (especially quests, rewards, or DLC unlockers) can interfere with gameplay and may result in penalties, including account suspension. See Capcom’s announcement about unauthorized data modification for the game for the official policy. (Developer guidance: avoid suspicious quests and don’t accept tampered rewards.)
For practical context: many performance and cosmetic mods (REFramework, Fluffy Mod Manager, Mod Organizer 2 support) are shared by the community and can improve visuals or stability, but risk depends on what a mod changes. To stay safer, consider:
- Using mods only offline or in single-player sessions.
- Avoiding mods that unlock paid DLC, alter quest rewards/timers, or change multiplayer-affecting stats.
- Backing up saves and following community install guides (for example, REFramework/Fluffy install tutorials).
Reliable reading: Capcom’s warning and multiple outlets (GameSpot, PCGamesN) document enforcement actions; Nexus and community guides show the common tools and which mods are considered risky.
