Now, given the audience of this game, it's easy to see why some of the mods for Stellar Blade boast highly objectionable content. However, players who don't want to download any form of adult content can try out other SFW mods that are more practical for obvious reasons.

1 Ultimate Engine Tweaks

Improves Visual And Performance Stability

There's no denying that developers go to great lengths to optimize their games for various platforms, ensuring that everything flows smoothly. However, there are always limits to this, and Stellar Blade is subject to the same, given the varied hardware of most PCs and how it can be hard to account for every system configuration.

Thankfully, modders have ensured that these optimizations aren't out of reach for PC players. Some changes to the code enabled by this mod ensure that loading times, stutters, latency, and any other undesirable elements in Stellar Blade are at an all-time low.

2 EVE2Tachy

A Simple Model Replacement

Tachy is the leader of the 7th Airborne Squad who sacrifices herself to save Eve from a Naytiba who ambushes them at the start of the game. This, in itself, establishes her as a memorable character in the series who is taken away too soon.

Players who loved this character and want her to enjoy more screen time in the game can download a mod that swaps Eve's model with that of Tachy. It's a simple yet great way to pay an in-game homage to her sacrifice.

3 Improved Perfect Defense

Increases Parry And Dodge Windows

Combat is satisfying in Stellar Blade as players land a series of parries and dodges to debilitate their enemies. As epic as this may feel, the facade wears off if players fail to nail these windows and end up receiving avoidable damage.

With this mod, the game becomes easier for players who are struggling to parry and dodge enemy attacks. Players who aren't having problems here don't need to download this mod, but it's a godsend for players who don't want to struggle every step of the way.

4 EVE2Scarlet

Let's Players Use The Skin Of This Super-Soldier

Along with the PC port, Stellar Blade also crossed over with the Goddess of Victory: NIKKE gacha game to let players enjoy more content. This mode included Scarlet, one of the more popular characters from this game players can encounter as a boss.

Her model can replace Eve with this mod, making for a fun and novel way to play the game. It's merely a cosmetic change, but one that may be just enough to make Stellar Blade feel fresh for players who are already familiar with how this game works.

5 Stellar Optimizer

Improves Shader Compilation And Asset Streaming

Shader compilation is a horrific term for people who hate it when their games lag. A lot of the stutter in most modern video games is caused by unoptimized shader compilation, which is why this mod is perfect for them.

Any mod that optimizes Stellar Blade for PC is welcome, and this one ensures that the game doesn't stutter too frequently for players. Asset streaming and shader compilation are optimized to make this beautiful game as smooth as can be.

6 Eve Short Hair

A Simple Look Change That Some Fans Will Love

Short hair queens can rejoice, since Stellar Blade has a simple cosmetic mod that enables this look for the main character. It suits her quite a bit and makes for a fun visual change that players can mess around with.

Given the sheer number of NSFW content mods for this game, it's easy to see why players appreciate the idea of this character getting a tame and well-made cosmetic change that doesn't pander to the male gaze.

7 EVE2Raven

Turns Eve Into One Of The Game's Major Antagonists

The Andro-Eidos are meant to save humanity from the overbearing threat of the Naytiba. This is what makes Raven's actions so puzzling, since she actively goes against human interests and serves as one of the game's major antagonists.

Giving this rogue Andro-Eidos a taste of her medicine is oh-so-satisfying in Stellar Blade. On top of this, players can rub salt in the wound with this mod to place Raven as humanity's savior instead.

8 Nier Automata Large Sword Pack

Turns Eve's Iconic Blood Edge Sword Into One Of The Blades From Nier Automata

Nier: Automata is a game highly similar to Stellar Blade, with both titles featuring androids who fight against the many foes that stand in their way. If players want, then they can download one of nine massive blades from Automata and use them to replace Eve's Blood Edge sword.

It's a nice way to pay homage to Yoko Taro's masterpiece, which continues to be one of the best hack-and-slash games players can get their hands on. With this mod, Nier: Automata fans can enjoy the soul of this game in Stellar Blade courtesy of a simple cosmetic change.
