Dear Patrons, Many of you have noticed my absence here on Patreon and on Nexusmods. The reason is painful: for the past three weeks, my city has been under continuous air raids. Alerts sound almost all day and night without pause, followed by real missiles and drones. All of this forces me to spend

After dozens of hours of work, I’m proud to announce a major milestone in the HZDR modding journey. Introducing the ModForge Vortex extension for HZDR! This extension works much like its elder sibling, ModForge for HFW, making mod installation simple and stylish. The principle remains the same: drop

Tired of Seyka showing up in full‑coverage Quen Navy gear like she’s about to dive into an iceberg? This mod lightens her look and lets her breathe in the Burning Shores heat. Now she’s rocking open legs, a breezy bikini bottom, and a reworked top that says “I fight machines and tan evenly.” For tho

You’re probably rubbing your eyes right now, wondering if you’re hallucinating a mod for HZDR. But no, this isn’t a desert mirage, it’s real! And because I don’t do things halfway, it’s not just one mod… it’s three mods bundled together in one glorious package! (Okay, okay—just joking. Those three w

The Thunder Elite Leggings Refined mod is here. I took the classic Nora aesthetic, stripped away the unnecessary weight, and tuned it for maximum tactical velocity. They are refined, refreshed, and absolutely ready to slide into the fight (and probably directly into a Thunderjaw's ankles). Dear Patr

Think the "Clear Focus" isn't clear enough? This mod fixes a critical oversight by removing the default blue circle (reticle) from Aloy's Focus interface. Enjoy a completely unobstructed view every time you activate your Focus. Mod available for all subscribers, exclusively on Patreon.

Welcome to the Seyka Rework Beta Test! This test introduces the core concept which is planned for the future Seyka rework mod. Because this is an early look at new Seyka appearance, access to this exclusive mod phase is currently limited to my paid tiers: Contributor, Backer and Sponsor members. Bet

Important info: Heads up, guys! The custom FOV setting changes your regular aiming camera alongside your Focus state. The only exceptions are high-precision weapons like Sharpshot bows. Currently, there is no way to lock the FOV to the Focus state only. Just to highlight: this mod not affecting the

New variant for Beta is out now! 👗 I've traded the pants for a stylish miniskirt, what you think, genius tweak or clunky flop? Drop your spice in comments.

Tired of Aloy taking longer to craft arrows than it takes a Thunderjaw to charge its laser? This mod slashes ammo crafting time down to a lightning‑fast 0.5 seconds. Blink and your quiver’s full. Every ammo type gets the turbo‑craft treatment, well, almost. Shredder Gauntlets ammo and Special Rope C

Before, the Second Chance skill was like rolling dice with fate: Level 1: 33% chance to survive a killing blow. Level 2: 66% chance if the gods of RNG were kind. And it only worked when Aloy’s health dropped below 25%, meaning you had to flirt with death just to trigger it. On top of that, the coold

Machines used to treat Aloy like a crash‑test dummy—one hit and she’s sent flying or cartwheeling across the battlefield like a Nora acrobat who forgot her balance training. Not anymore. With this mod, Aloy finally discovers the ancient Nora art of “standing her ground.” No staggering, no ragdoll ba

Remember that moment in HFW when the game politely told you: “Sorry, you’ve already placed enough traps”? Yeah, I nearly fell off my chair. First time I saw that ridiculous restriction, I was both surprised and mad, like, excuse me, who decided my battlefield creativity needed a leash? This mod tear

May was… let’s say “eventful.” Between a flu that hit harder than a surprise plot twist and a stack of everyday chaos, my workflow took a serious wobble. Still, none of that managed to keep me from pushing forward with fresh wins on the HFW modding front. And because I’d rather show results than jus

This past month I finally had the chance to slow down on the heavy technical grind and focus on something fun: giving Horizon Forbidden West’s NPCs the glow-ups they secretly (and not so secretly) needed. Zo traded bulky armor for breezy tropical vibes. Varl discovered the magic of tactical ventilat

The Diving Mask in HFW is both the crown jewel of inventions and the ultimate “why did you do this to us?” moment. Sounds contradictory, right? Well, buckle up. The mask shows up during the main quest, and from that point on Aloy automatically slaps it on every time she dips her head underwater. Unl

Ladies, gentlemen, and fellow bow‑haters, I proudly unveil the completed Bows Stow-n-Hide™! Now, let me tell you — this wasn’t just a stroll through the Nora lands. Oh no. Before diving in, I thought: “Eh, hiding bows in HZD was easy, this’ll be a piece of cake.” Spoiler alert: the cake was a lie. T

A new technique for concealing bows was discovered—yes, even those stubborn physics‑enabled bits that used to stick out like a Tenakth warrior at a Nora ceremony. With this new craft, those leftover parts finally vanish into the shadows where they belong. The method is new, so brave hunters: test it

Ever wanted Aloy’s spear to stop being the “poke-stick” and start being the “machine-obliterator”? This mod cranks your melee damage up by threefold, turning every jab into a full-blown ecosystem reset.

For all the cautious souls clutching their beloved HFW MM mods collection like dragon hoards: If you previously used the HFW Mod Manager, you can safely install this Vortex extension — it won’t overwrite your existing mods folder. ModForge manages mods in a separate mods_Vortex folder, so you can al

We’ve all seen it: the infamous Swiss-cheese mesh disaster. Outfits looking like they’ve been attacked by a hungry mouse army, body parts vanishing mid-inventory like they’re auditioning for a magic show. Annoying? Oh yes. Stylish? Absolutely not. For the past two weeks, I’ve been spelunking deep in

Shield Weaver Hawk 3.0 – The Tale of Aloy’s Shiny Upgrade Word spread quickly through the Nora lands: Aloy had once again tinkered with her trusty Shield Weaver. But this time, she didn’t just patch it up, she went full Future Soldier Armor MK7.1. Villagers whispered that she looked like she’d stepp

Let me introduce you to my second recent project – Horizon Forums on Nexusmods! If this sparks your nostalgia, if you’ve been looking for a place to relive those old forum days -come gather with us at Horizon Forums. It’s the same campfire spirit of swapping stories, debating nonsense, and sharing l

ModForge has finally leveled up! To everyone who’s been patiently (or impatiently) tapping their keyboards, I owe you an apology. Yes, I promised this release earlier… but let’s just say the upgrade quest had more plot twists than a Horizon Forbidden West side mission. The good news? Those delays we

We all love creating mods that make Aloy look more beautiful, or add new outfits and features—but behind the scenes, the reality of my work has been very different lately. This month has been especially difficult here in Ukraine. Power supply is unstable—on a good day, I get a quarter of the day wit

We all love outfit mods and making Aloy look more striking, but what about bringing something truly new to the game—something no one has tackled yet? An alternative start. If you’re planning another playthrough of Horizon Zero Dawn but find yourself dreading the familiar prologue in Rost’s hovel, th

As requested by many on Nexus Mods, this project continues the legacy of the default Aloy body model—now brought to the Undergarments outfit for Horizon Zero Dawn. The Ultra Real Edition ensures that the undergarments set reflects the same fidelity and detail fans seen in my previous projects as Bik

The core mission of ModForge has always been clear: make Horizon Forbidden West modding through Vortex seamless, visually appealing, and effortless. With version 0.0.3, we’re taking several important steps closer to that vision. Before diving into the new features, let’s quickly revisit how mod down

Horizon Forbidden West is a game that deserves its own fully working extension—and now it has one. Give it a spin, test it out, and let me know how it runs for you.

The Shieldwing was built for daring escapes and graceful descents—but with Shieldwing Plus, it becomes your ultimate tool for freedom in the air. This mod enhances Aloy’s glider with new capabilities: • Extended Flight: Soar across vast landscapes with longer glide times, covering more distance than

It turns out Aloy’s closet is bigger than we thought. Somewhere between the forge and the Focus, she’s been sneaking in outfit experiments that range from “battle-ready chic” to “did she just raid a thrift store in Meridian?” This expansion adds a few more variants, which you was asking so mutch. On

This small yet mighty mod gives Aloy’s iconic Radhair a breath of fresh air while keeping her overall look canon‑friendly. By gently snipping away the braids, ties, and those stubborn front strands, BareStrands lightens her silhouette and lets her hair flow with youthful freedom. ✨ What you’ll notic

Clear Focus - Download from Nexusmods 🔻 🔧 Introducing a New Mod Class Finally! After a collaborative effort from iddaemon, KingxJulz, and a bit of persistent encouragement on my end, the enhanced HFW Mod Manager is now released. This update doesn’t just refine the tool; it opens the door to an ent

In the wilds of Horizon Forbidden West, Aloy can wrestle Thunderjaws, outsmart ancient AI, and scale cliffs like it’s a morning jog… but somehow she still insists on lugging a bow the size of a glinthawk wing across her back. This mod says no more. With Bows Stow‑n‑Hide, your stowed bows slip into t

If you’ve ever tried running around as barefoot Aloy, you’ve probably noticed that odd little feet glitch. Well, no more! This patch gives Aloy the clean, clear feet she truly deserves. Sure, the method isn’t flawless — footsteps had to be disabled to make it work — but between glitchy feet and flaw

✨ What's new in v2.5? ✨ This minor yet impactful update focuses on refining facial textures and elevating the quality of Aloy’s makeup.

This mod reimagines the Shield Weaver outfit with a base body mesh that’s not just ultra-realistic—it’s Nora-approved.

Started with good intentions. Wanted to make a clean, natural body base for beginner mod creators. Something wholesome. Something modular. Something Nexus-worthy. Then I blinked… and boom—Aloy’s rocking a hyper-realistic bikini with Shield-Weaver stats and subtle breast physics. Think it’s a waste o

The machines have mellowed… slightly. With Wary Wilds, combat AI becomes less aggressive, giving you breathing room to explore without constant ambushes. But don’t get too close—they’re still wild, still watching, and still very capable of ruining your day. Think of it as nature’s uneasy truce: less
