Project C.O.W.A.N
A Valheim overhaul modpack: Therzie's Warfare, Armory, Monstrum & Wizardry, Epic Loot, Seasons, Valheim Legends, new ships and sea life, Ravenwood building sets, new world locations and quality-of-life mods, with tuned configs included.
Installation
- Install r2modman or the Mod Manager and select Valheim.
- Create a new profile, search the online mod list for Project COWAN and install it. Every mod in the list below is installed automatically as a dependency.
- Launch the game with Start modded.
Multiplayer: most of these mods need to be installed on every client and on the server. Everyone should run the same version of this pack.
Configs
The pack ships with a config folder of pre-tuned settings. The mod manager copies these into BepInEx/config in your profile when the pack is installed. Installing into an existing profile will overwrite any config files with the same names, so use a fresh profile if you want to keep your own settings.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
