When one talks about the biggest sports franchises in the gaming industry, then it's only a matter of time before FIFA comes into the picture. This long-running soccer video game series has been a longtime member of the industry, churning out yearly releases and gathering a loyal fanbase that can't wait to sink its teeth into the latest FIFA title.

While the base version of the latest game in the series — FIFA 21 — might be serviceable for most people, there are still some PC players who would want to make their experience all the more enjoyable by downloading mods for the title that can augment their experience with the game in a number of ways. Keeping this in mind, here are ten of the best mods for FIFA 21 that can help accomplish the same.
10 FIFA 21 Tattoos Patch
While this might be a minor mod, one can't deny the fact that players who want the most realistic experience possible in FIFA 21 would obviously find it somewhat grating that none of the players sport their tattoos.
This is fixed with the FIFA 21 Tattoos Patch, which ends up adding all these missing tattoos for all players in the game.
9 Paulv2k4 FIFA 21 Modding Tool
Paulv2k4 is a name that will be seen multiple times throughout this list, given the fact that he's easily one of the most notable and active modders for the FIFA series.
His mods for FIFA 21 are quite impressive in their own right, with his modding tool serving as a boon for aspiring modders who want to gain access to the files of the game in a more organized and cohesive manner.
8 FIFA 21 Live Editor
Players who don't really want to get into full-time modding yet still want to alter the core figures and assets of the game for themselves can achieve the same with the amazing FIFA 21 Live Editor.

The game pretty much becomes a playground for users of this mod, which allows for the customization and tweaking of pretty much every notable facet in this game.
7 FIFA 21: FCB17 Facepack
Another mod that adds a ton to FIFA 21 when it comes to the realism side of things, the FCB17 Facepack updates a number of faces in the game to resemble their modern counterparts ever further, while simultaneously also upgrading the generic faces present in the game as well.
Players who may be tired of seeing the same faces in the game over and over again can opt for the FCB17 Facepack that can fix a large number of things wrong with the game.
6 FIFA 21: Adboards & Licenses Patch
Any person who wants their copy of FIFA 21 to be as accurate and up-to-date as possible will find the FIFA 21: Adboards & Licenses Patch to be nothing short of an absolute godsend.
Not only does this mod alter a multitude of assets present in the game to make them more in line with their real-life counterparts, but it also adds Juventus and Roma into the game along with their official kits, flags, sponsors, and the like.
5 FIFA 21 NAC Mod
The national team selection of FIFA 21 can be rather woeful, with only the biggest teams around making the cut in this game — a shame, since there are so many national teams around that have their fair share of decent players that could help add more content to this game.
Thankfully, players who want international teams to be absolutely abundant in FIFA 21 can enjoy the same with the FIFA 21 NAC Mod, which adds a total of 77 new national teams into the base game!
4 Paulv2k4 Big Classic Patch
Paulv2k4 makes another appearance on this list, this time with a huge patch that pretty much overhauls the entirety of FIFA 21 and turns it into a classic homage that pays its dues to the golden age of football.
The Big Classic Patch is a massive undertaking with seriously impressive results, and any fan of excellent overhauls or any player who might be bored of the vanilla FIFA 21 experience would certainly be serviced well with these mods!
3 Paulv2k4 Gameplay Mod
This mod could've had the potential to be the best mod on this list, but — as per the creator's own admission — it suffers from a general sense of jankiness and unnatural quickness that just ends up dragging back the overall experience.

However, there's no denying the fact that the Paulv2k4 Gameplay Mod is still a great mod to download for anyone who finds the base game of FIFA 21 to be too easy and wants to enjoy a tougher experience with the game.
2 Paulv2k4 Career Realism Mod
Career Mode is easily one of the biggest draws of FIFA 21, but one has to admit that this game mode can prove to be rather lackadaisical at times, featuring nonsensical decisions that can ruin one's immersion with this particular mode.
There are two modes that can help elevate the experience of Career Mode to a whole new level. The first one is the Paulv2k4 Career Realism Mod, which improves everything from the signings made in this mode to a form of match simulation that is more accurate.
1 FIFER's FIFA 21 Realism Mod
The second mod on this list that fixes Career Mode ends up doing so much more than just that. FIFER's FIFA 21 Realism Mod is pretty much a compilation of pretty much all the mods on this list, serving as the download of choice for players who don't want to deal with the confusing modding process.
The scope of FIFER's mod is truly incredible and is pretty much a must-have for anyone who wishes to augment their experience with FIFA 21.
