Monster Hunter Wilds free character edit mod destroys Capcom’s gross microtransactions

A new Monster Hunter Wilds mod has been released that allows players to completely bypass the game’s disgusting microtransactions. Following methods to quickly add new DLSS 4 features into the extremely popular new entry in Capcom’s long-running action series, players can now free themselves with unlimited character edits.

Edit your Monster Hunter Wilds character for free

Released on Nexus Mods, Monster Hunter Wilds free character edits can be quickly added to the game for both the player character and their adorable feline Palico. Created by Ridog8, players can now edit their characters an unlimited number of times without a fee.

The new PC mod technically still uses the game’s “Edit Vouchers” system. However, the number of vouchers is always set to zero, allowing players to edit their characters to their heart’s content instead of being forced to pay for minor cosmetic alterations.

To use the free character edit mod in Monster Hunter Wilds, you also need to have Re Framework installed, a modding tool that allows additional lua scripts to be executed in the game. Once this mod is installed, the character edit mod can be added to the title and you can be freed from gross microtransactions that, for some reason, still exist.

Unfortunately, there is no way of freeing yourself from the paid character edit feature on console. However, there is hope that Capcom could rip the whole paid editing system out, or introduce an easy way to earn edit vouchers in game. If online complaining could change anything in a video game, this would be a good one.

With Monster Hunter Wilds currently decimating Steam player numbers to become one of the most popular games to ever release on the platform, a great deal of post-launch support is bound to be on its way. An expansion or even two could arrive in the future but, right now, paid character edits need to be removed.
