"For the full experience we recommend leaving these settings unchanged, unless they cause discomfort to you." Options:
- Toggle Sprint
- View Bobbing
- Camera shake strength
- Wireframe thickness
- Glitch strength waviness
Sound tab
- Bees are an important resource that can be difficult to find. The most-recommended technique is to turn up the Ambient Sound slider and turn down the Weather Sound and Music sliders while hunting for beehives.
- Wolves are a dangerous enemy that can often be avoided due to their periodic howls announcing their location.
- Bears growl but usually the player is within attack range when that happens.
- Low Temporal Stability triggers ominous music. The player should take action to reduce the stability drain and restore stability soon.

Using Mods
The modding community for Vintage Story has produced several mods that might help with one or more of your issues.
- It's generally safe to add/remove mods after playing a world for awhile. But best practice includes creating a backup.
- A mod that hasn't been updated for your game version is still likely to work. Again, back up your world before installing.
- Several mods are client-side, meaning that you can use them even on multiplayer servers. Other mods require the server admins to install them.
- When you join a server, the required mods are automatically downloaded to a folder for that server, separate from your singleplayer mod folder. To also use your singleplayer mods, copy-paste them into the server's mod folder on your PC.
Motion
Some mods give greater control over visual effects such as the screen warping during Temporal Storms or drunkenness.
- Accessibility Tweaks https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/665
- "Lots of customisable tweaks for sounds effects, visual effects, text, weather, colours, and gamma."
Visibility
Some mods give greater control over the lighting levels.
- Accessibility Tweaks https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/665
- "Lots of customisable tweaks for sounds effects, visual effects, text, weather, colours, and gamma."
Some mods make key resources easier to distinguish from their surroundings.
- Juicy Ores https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/2602
- "Replaces ore block's model with more noticeable one."
- Visible Ore https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/1526
- "A small mod that makes the ore in the rock more visible in some combinations."
- Obvious Resin https://mods.vintagestory.at/show/mod/5138
- "Gives resin producing leaking blocks a bright blue overlay to be more visible."
