Starting off our list is one of the most downloaded Valheim mods ever released! Plant Everything by Advize is a quality-of-life mod that lets you plant and grow any pickable resource or tree at home. However, this simple feature also doubles as a way to further decorate bases while giving farmers significantly more to do. This mod also adds plenty of configurable farming options to strike the perfect balance for all the newly introduced crops.

Longship Upgrades by Shudnal does just as its name describes and adds new forms of longship progression, including cosmetic options for visual customization, unique lore-friendly upgrades such as resting tents, advanced storage, and lighting, and even new forms of weaponry. All the things one needs to ensure each longship truly reflects the legendary Vikings that reside inside. Just be warned that this makes accidentally losing a ship all the more heartbreaking!
