Monster Hunter Wilds players have likely spent the weekend immersed in its vast array of hunts and activities. Amidst the excitement, PC modders have been hard at work addressing one of the game's early frustrations: Character Edit Vouchers.
Both Character Edit Vouchers and Palico Edit Vouchers made a return in Monster Hunter Wilds, much to the disappointment of both new and veteran players. However, PC modders have swiftly developed a solution, creating a mod that bypasses the system to allow for unlimited character and Palico edits.
This community fix comes as no surprise to PC players, given that modders have previously tackled similar issues in earlier Monster Hunter titles. The mod itself is straightforward, eliminating the need for players to carry edit vouchers when revisiting the character creation screen. While minor changes such as hair and makeup are freely editable, more extensive modifications typically require a paid Voucher, a requirement that this mod circumvents.
Based on the patterns observed in previous games, Monster Hunter Wilds is poised to become a hotspot for modders. Traditionally, the modding community focuses on enhancing cosmetics, improving user interfaces, adjusting drop rates, or boosting performance, with the latter likely to be a focal point for Wilds.
Capcom has already addressed performance issues on PC, releasing a troubleshooting guide to assist players facing challenges. The conversation has been ongoing over the launch weekend on the Monster Hunter subreddit's Performance Megathread, where users collaboratively adjust the game's settings to enhance their experience.
Despite these hurdles, player engagement with Monster Hunter Wilds remains high. Capcom's latest addition to the franchise has set a new concurrent player count record on Steam, cementing Wilds as a landmark entry in the series. As the weeks and months pass, it will be fascinating to see how the community continues to interact with and shape the game.
