Modern Furniture V2 Skins
Your ARK: Survival Ascended base is more than just a shelter; it is a statement of your survival prowess. But after countless hours of taming and gathering, the same old wooden foundations and thatch roofs can start to feel, well, primitive. If you are ready to trade the rustic look for sleek, contemporary design, the Modern Furniture V2 Skins mod is the perfect addition to your game. This add-on brings a full suite of stylish, functional-looking furniture to your survivor's fingertips, allowing you to build the dream home you have always wanted on the island.
What is Included in the Modern Furniture V2 Skins Pack?
This isn't just a single chair or table; it is a comprehensive collection designed to upgrade two of the most important rooms in your base: the bedroom and the bathroom. The mod is neatly organized into decor boxes, making it easy to craft and find exactly what you need without cluttering your inventory.
Modern Bathroom Collection
Say goodbye to the industrial pipes and rusty sinks. This collection focuses on creating a spa-like atmosphere in your ARK home. The items are split into three distinct decor boxes based on size and function.
- Decor Box Small: Contains essential bathroom decor items to add those finishing touches.
- Decor Box Medium: This is where you will find the main fixtures, including modern tubs, sinks, and vanities.
- Decor Box Large: For the ultimate luxury, this box holds the larger pieces, such as walk-in showers and premium tubs.
Modern Bedroom and Living Essentials
Your bedroom should be a sanctuary, and this mod ensures it looks the part. The furniture set goes beyond just a place to sleep, offering a complete interior design package.
- Modern Chairs and Sofas: Comfortable seating options for your living area, from sleek chairs to plush sofas.
- Bookshelf and Storage: A modern bookshelf for your engrams and a nightstand for your bedside essentials.
- Beds: Choose from two distinct bed variants, including a simple modern bed and a more elaborate "Modern Bed" for a grander aesthetic.
- Tables: A variety of modern tables for dining or display, perfect for showcasing your trophies.
- Lighting: The mod includes hanging lights, wall lights, and Omni table lamps to create the perfect ambiance. These are crucial for making your modern base feel warm and inviting.
How to Install and Use the Mod
Getting this sleek furniture into your game is a straightforward process. The Modern Furniture V2 Skins mod is available on the official mod browser within ARK: Survival Ascended. To install it, simply search for the mod in the CurseForge section of the main menu, click subscribe, and ensure it is enabled for your single-player world or server. The process is designed to be user-friendly, so you can spend less time on how to install and more time on interior decorating.
Once the mod is active, you will find all the new items under the "Custom Cosmetics" tab in your inventory. The clever part of this system is that it uses a skin system rather than adding entirely new structures. You can hover over any vanilla item and replace it with a skin of your choice. For example, you can apply a modern sink skin to a standard water reservoir. This ensures that the mod maintains compatibility with your existing base layouts. All the respective skins can be found under one item, simplifying the crafting process. After crafting, you can equip the skin to the "house" icon and apply it to your structures.
Customization and Compatibility
One of the standout features is the built-in scaling system. You can change the variants and sizes of the furniture to fit your specific space, ensuring no corner of your base feels wasted. This flexibility is a game-changer for builders who like to experiment with different layouts. The mod has been partially tested with both Keyboard and Xbox Controller, and the developer notes that it should be compatible with any other mods. If you are using a launcher to manage your mods, you might find it convenient that the Modern Furniture V2 Skins add-on is listed in the foxygame.net launcher's catalog, which simplifies the download process and ensures version compatibility with your current build of ARK: Survival Ascended. This makes managing your mod list a breeze, especially if you run a dedicated server.
Why Choose This Mod?
In a game where function often trumps form, this mod brings a level of polish that is rarely seen. It was commissioned by a player named xLazyKat, ensuring that the items are created based on real community requests and desires. While the mod is in its early stage and you might encounter a few bugs, the variety and quality of the items are impressive. The hanging lights alone can completely change the mood of a room, and the modern bathroom sets allow for a level of detail that was previously impossible without extensive modding knowledge.
To see how to change variants and use the scaling system effectively, be sure to check out the video linked on the mod page. If you run into any issues or want to see what other players are building, the Sandi Development Discord is the place to go for support and inspiration. You can also consider donating to the developer to encourage more content like this. So, if you are ready to elevate your ARK experience and move away from the standard survivor look, look no further. The Modern Furniture V2 Skins for ARK: Survival Ascended is a must-have for any serious builder looking to create a base that is both functional and beautiful. It is the perfect way to add a personal touch to your world.
