Best difficulty mods?

[Flucas]

I'm looking for a challenge for a 5-man group. What mods do you guys use?

There's the Deadly Deadfire mod at Nexus, but that one is a bit old now. You might find something else if you dig around a bit.

There’s one called Higher is Always Harder, also on Nexus. I plan to try that one for my next play through.

Deadly deadfire is really good. It has a 28-% exp penalty attached though which is a bit to high. I wish it was 20%

It's exactly the thing that has withheld me from trying it sooner. I really enjoy getting more skills

 

I might just use this one and give myself an extra level upon start using the unity console.

The description was a tad unclear to me, it increases enemy penetration levels?

That's fairly reductive. The general idea of the mod is to make enemies scale higher than you, so that the game gets progressively harder the higher your level. The mod's thread offers a better explanation in the OP.
