This is a guide to all the mods currently available for Ultima V: Lazarus. The mods on this list were all created by members of the Lazarus "modding community", and you can take a look at the original discussions about them on the U5: Lazarus Modding Forum. My intention with this list was to gather all the mods from various forum posts and list them in one place. If any of the information is inaccurate, or if a mod is missing, let me know !  Choose from one of the following to jump to a mod category: Symbol Key: [Hide Symbol Key] = Mod has no known conflicts with other mods, and no known bugs = Mod has known conflicts with other mods, and they can't be used at the same time. You will need to pick one or the other. = Mod has known bugs = Link to the original Lazarus Forum post discussing the mod. (n+) = Mod applies only to “new” items (the mod will not affect existing items in inventory. Any new items you pick up will be changed) (ng) = Mod will only work if you are starting the game from scratch (won’t change existing saved games) Bug Fixes:[Hide Bug Fixes] 1) Lazarus v1.2_Bugfix & Mod Collection v1.29 - bugfixes, weaponfixes and interface mods ++[Show Details]++ A bugfix and mod package that includes: - bugfix pack - bug fixes
