Tootsalots Valhalla Overhaul Lite

Tootsalot's Valhalla Overhaul -- LITE

A 48-mod lightweight Valheim enhancement pack focused purely on quality of life, bug fixes, skill depth, and system improvements. No new weapons, creatures, biomes, or items. Just a better vanilla experience with hand-tuned balanced configs. All gameplay configs are server-synced.

Based on Tootsalot's Valhalla Overhaul with all content mods stripped out.

What This Pack Does

Expanded Skill System -- 16 new skills via the Smoothbrain suite that add depth to every activity: Vitality, Tenacity, Evasion, PackHorse, Cooking, Farming, Foraging, Ranching, Mining, Lumberjacking, Building, Blacksmithing, Exploration, Sailing, Backpacks, and Endurance. SmartSkills adds catch-up mechanics and death recovery so switching playstyles doesn't punish you.

Portal Overhaul -- TargetPortal lets you teleport to any portal by name from a map interface instead of needing matched tags.

Combat Fixes -- ReliableBlock fixes vanilla's broken parry/block detection so blocks always register when you have stamina. SaveCrossbowState remembers your crossbow's loaded state when swapping weapons.

Swimming & Diving -- VikingsDoSwim adds underwater diving, swim speed scaling by skill level, and stamina mechanics. WieldEquipmentWhileSwimming lets you keep gear out in the water.

Lighting -- GammaOfNightLights makes nights meaningfully darker. CircletExtended turns the circlet into an upgradeable helmet with configurable light, demister, and enemy stun at higher tiers.

Inventory & Containers -- Extended inventory with equipment slots and quick slots. Quick Stack for sorting, CraftyBoxes for crafting from nearby containers, MultiUserChest for multiplayer access, SmarterContainers for organization, and Recycle_N_Reclaim for scrapping items.

Automation -- LazyVikings auto-fuels smelters, kilns, cooking stations, and more from nearby containers. PetPantry auto-feeds tamed animals.

Building -- Basements adds underground rooms. MyPitsDontLeak fixes rain leaking into pits. PlantEverything expands what you can plant.

Map & UI -- MyLittleUI improves hover text and UI elements. Pinnacle enhances map pins with quick-pin keyboard shortcuts, icon customization, coloring, and resizing. SpeedyPaths gives speed bonuses on built paths.

Backpacks -- Smoothbrain Backpacks adds a craftable backpack with a dedicated equipment slot, auto-fill, and tiered upgrades.

Visual -- Foglands tweaks the Foglands biome visuals. Loading screen art via Intermission.

Performance -- StartupAccelerator speeds up game boot by deferring Harmony patches. ValhallaPerformance is a custom all-in-one optimization plugin that replaces ValheimPerformanceOverhaul, Smoke_Collision, and VBNetTweaks. It covers smoke physics with simple collision, light culling and flicker freeze, AI throttling, creature sleep distance, WearNTear support caching, dirty-region piece updates, network sync prioritization and adaptive throttling, memory management and object pooling, VFX budgeting, terrain/zone prefetching, tar pit leak fixes, log deduplication, minimap throttling, and adaptive frame scaling. Five built-in performance profiles (Potato, Low, Medium, High, Max) let you tune everything from a single config entry.
