Like other great strategy games of its kind, there's always something new to do in Civilization VI. Taking the reins of a budding civilization and cultivating it through multiple centuries doesn't get old very quickly. However, both veterans and newcomers alike frequently look for new ways to enhance their experience.

Unsurprisingly, this is where the modding community comes into play. The Steam Workshop contains a veritable treasure trove of useful mods that players may find interesting. Installing them is simple as clicking a button, making experimentation quick and painless. Any serious fan of Civilization VI should definitely give these mods a try.

10 Environment Skin: Sid Meier's Civilization V

In the Civilization series, players will spend a great deal of time looking at the map. Although certainly pretty to look at, its vibrant color scheme may not be everybody's cup of tea. Luckily, there's no shortage of mods that aim to tackle that problem.

Arguably one of the best available is the Environment Skin mod, which alters the map visuals to bring them more in line with Civilization V. The colors are toned down, giving the game a more neutral look. It's certainly a much-appreciated mod for those who preferred the previous entry's graphics.

9 Yet (Not) Another Maps Pack

Mods that alter the map of the game are rather numerous. Each mod unsurprisingly takes a different approach to how they retool the map's presentation. Nevertheless, one of the most popular on the Steam Workshop is arguably one of the only ones a player may ever need.

The aptly named Yet (Not) Another Maps Pack mod does several things. Chief among them is the ability to play on a much larger, more historically accurate map. Civilizations will conform to their historical starting locations instead of randomly. With bigger maps comes greater detail, so this mod is definitely worth exploring.

8 Enhanced Mod Manager

It's also worth mentioning that whenever a large number of add-ons are being installed, a reliable mod manager really comes in handy. Although the game itself can track which mods are installed, it's not always pretty to decipher.

Enhanced Mod Manager allows for a much neater record of one's mods. The solution it provides is rather simple. Enhanced Mod Manager categorizes everything into either one of two categories: enabled or disabled. There are also sorting and filtering options that make finding particular mods a lot easier.

7 Sukritact's Global Relations Panel

Alas, the player is not alone in the world of Civilization VI. Plenty of future rivals and enemies populate the map, ready to frustrate the player at every turn. Planning one's moves ahead of time is often hampered by the lack of information regarding how other civilizations feel about each other.

Sukritact's Global Relations Panel mod fixes that problem. It adds a nifty UI tool that allows the player to see the relations between other civilizations. This gives fans a better opportunity to forge useful alliances in the interest of overcoming one's collective enemies.

6 Steel & Thunder: Unit Expansion

Civilization VI fans, no matter their playstyle, can't afford to neglect their military units. The vanilla game, plus all of its expansions, contains a diverse variety of units. More, of course, is always better, right?

The Steel & Thunder: Unit Expansion mod does exactly that. It adds 11 Global Units to the Civilization VI roster. Some of these new units include Longswordsmen, Mortars, Gatling Guns, Self-Propelled Artillery, and more. Along with the mod comes some tweaks to unit stats that players may find useful.

5 Religion Expanded

Much like the military, religion in the game can't be neglected forever. Players have a good deal of options to choose from regarding their civilization's religion. However, with such a wide-ranging and diverse topic, there's always room for more detail in this department.

A simple, yet highly recommended mod is Religion Expanded. First and foremost, the mod raises the "founded religions" cap to a maximum of 16. In addition, 40 new beliefs are included, along with new worship buildings and pantheons. This mod certainly makes a playthrough a much richer experience.

4 Unique District Icons

As players cultivate their civilizations, cities will inevitably start to grow. Unlike previous entries in the series, Civilization VI adds a new feature whereby cities can form districts in adjacent hexes. As such, metropolises no longer grow on just one tile.

For a game with so many interlocking parts, relevant information must be found quickly and easily. Unique District Icons, a very simple mod, makes identifying and managing one's districts a lot more appealing to the eyes. Each district is given its own unique icon, enhancing the game's overall presentation, along with its practical utility.

3 Real Great People

Developing a civilization is hard work. Nevertheless, the benefits of forging an illustrious society are often worth it. If fans play their cards right, their civilization may start to attract Great People, who serve to provide useful benefits depending on their skills.

Unfortunately, from an aesthetics standpoint, viewing these famous men and women is rather bland. The Real Great People mod is a UI improvement that adds historical portraits to these legendary figures. It's a cool little addition that adds some much-needed flavor to the vanilla game.

2 Sukritact's Simple UI Adjustments

Yet another great mod from Sukritact, this one makes some quality-of-life changes to the game's UI. As stated previously, finding the requisite information easily can help avoid headaches in the long run. This mod, in particular, can be especially useful for beginners.

Sukritact's Simple UI Adjustments don't make sweeping changes to the UI. Rather, it implements small, subtle improvements that tend to come in handy. For instance, hovering over a certain point-of-interest will now yield a tooltip that displays the relevant information.

1 Anno Domini

A well-crafted total conversion mod always has the potential to bring players back into the fold. Instead of spanning several millennia, the Anno Domini mod focuses on a more concise segment of history. Specifically, it revolves around the Ancient and Classical worlds, from the dawn of the first civilizations to the fall of Rome.

To better reflect this more abridged timeline, a plethora of new leaders are included in the mod. These include such legendary figures as Pericles, Arminius, Boudicca, Caracalla, Helen of Troy, and many more! The models of these new characters are also very well done and seem like a natural extension of the vanilla game.
