The first universal mod manager for Crimson Desert. Comes pre-loaded with the most requested QoL mods, all configurable with step-by-step preset dialogs.
CDCamera – Camera & FoV Overhaul v1.60
Configurable camera with step-by-step presets:
– 8 Camera Styles: Western (RDR2), Immersive (closest), Cinematic (wide), RE2 Remake (horror-style), Lower Camera (Witcher 3/GOW), Very Low, Ultra Low, Steady
– 6 FoV Levels: +10 / +15 / +20 / +25 / +30 / +40 degrees
– Steadycam: Locks camera during movement – no zoom-out when running
– Centered Camera (Bane Mode): Centers character on screen, works on foot + horseback + flight
– Combat Zoom: Default / Wider (+50%) / Maximum (+100%)
– Horse camera zoom fix – no more erratic zooming on horseback
Stamina Manager v3.0 (NEW)
Reduces ALL stamina drain – sprint, combat, riding, climbing, gliding, swimming. Uses dual approach: skill cost reduction + base pool increase for complete coverage.#
– Half Drain (50%) – Skill costs halved, pool doubled
– Quarter Drain (25%) – Skill costs quartered, pool 4x
– Minimal Drain (10%) – Almost no drain, pool 10x
– Infinite Stamina – Zero skill costs + massive pool
Sprint Hold
– Hold Shift to sprint instead of toggle. Works on foot, horse, M+KB and gamepad (A button).
QoL Essentials – Tweaks & Fixes Bundle
5 configurable tweaks:
– Screen Blur: Disable / Reduce 50%
– Camera Shake: Disable / Reduce 50%
– HUD Scale: Unlock full 50-100% range (vanilla locks to 90-100%)
– Mouse Feel: Zero input lag + extended sensitivity / Extended only
– Particle Effects: Full / Reduce 50% / Minimal 25% (FPS boost)
I will add removing Chromatic Aberration and other effects in the next update.
Cinematic Graphics Preset
– Pushes ALL 11 quality settings to the hidden Cinematic tier. Vanilla “Ultra” caps Lighting, Water, and Volumetric Fog at “High” – this unlocks the real maximum.

LOD & Draw Distance Tweaks

For Mod Authors
A .cdmod is just a JSON file with text replacement rules:
{
“format”: “cdmod-v1”,
“name”: “My Mod”,
“patches”: [{
“archive”: “0010”,
“entry_path”: “actionchart/playercamerapreset.xml”,
“patch_type”: “text_replace”,
“replacements”: [
{“old”: “Fov=\”40\””, “new”: “Fov=\”60\””}
]
}]
}
You can find a detailed Author Guide in the the Mod Manager Download .zip, walking you through the whole process.
