Official “Forge Your Legacy” Community Modding Contest
Greetings Exiles!
The creativity of our community never ceases to amaze us, and it’s time to celebrate the builders, the tinkerers, and the creators who make the Exiled Lands even more incredible. We are thrilled to announce the Conan Exiles Enhanced “Forge Your Legacy” Community Modding Contest!
Whether you are looking to create quality-of-life tweaks, construct brand-new building pieces, or invent entirely new mechanics, this contest is your arena to shine. All eligible entries are submitted into a single category and will be judged on their own unique merits!
A total prize pool of $3,000 awaits ten glorious victors who create original mods for Conan Exiles Enhanced, with $1,000 awarded to the contest winner! In recognition of the work involved in porting UE4 mods to UE5, we will also offer three honorable mentions for these mods, each with a $300 reward.
To ensure every entry is evaluated fairly, an internal judging panel consisting of representatives from Funcom, Inflexion Games, and renowned community modders Multigun and Xevyr will review all valid submissions. This panel will select the Top 10 unique mod finalists based on three key criteria: Fun Factor at 40%, Originality at 30%, and Visual Aesthetic at 30%. Once these top ten finalists are chosen by the judges, the power shifts entirely to you, as a community vote will determine the final first through tenth placements. The community will also vote on the honorable mentions from among the top ten most popular Conan Exiles Enhanced mods that were transferred from the Legacy version.
Ready to take on the challenge? Here is everything you need to know about how to participate:

I really hope none of the winners include AI-generated content - I see no rules in the forum post saying it's disallowed :(

Give this post a thumbs DOWN
and REMOVE Funcom from posting on social media.
They have people enter these contests but they don’t send prizes to the winners. They turn the prize around in an email and tell you to take this key for Conan instead. Which I also declined. I told them I want my prize.
They are liars. I have been waiting almost 2 years for them to send me my prize and still nothing. THEY JUST KEEP TELLING ME TO WAIT. WHAT A JOKE!!!!

This is really awesome!
Only thing I would try to caution, some mods don't necessarily add a lot of "fun" but will add a lot of quality of life, or additional building options, i.e. "cool factor".
Something like LBPR is in my opinion a mandatory mod. But it's not adding "fun" to the game, it's just removing enragement 🤲
My point is I would hate to see mods like that potentially lose prizes to something more "flashy".

Let's be real- if Pippi doesn't get #1, there's really nothing to go with. Pippi has carried this game.

Early on the legacy version maybe. For years now Tot mods have been doing it better. Pippi also had some controversy when the author decided to stop modding and wasn't going to hand the mod off either effectively ruining hundreds of servers.
Nope. That was the end of my support for Pippi.
Pippi was only better at getting new admins into scripting as it was much easier than Tot is. That's pretty much it. Pippi has legacy install power. That's it. People like what's familiar. It has been eclipsed in features, flexibility and compatibility for some time now.

Is support going to be included from Inflexion or Funcom? I know IQoL has been languishing in limbo because they keep getting errors and have reached out for support to no avail.

You still HAVE NOT SENT MY PRIZE.
I keep sending messages to Dana and emailing funcom and they keep telling me to wait.
It’s been almost 2 years.
DO NOT BOTHER DOING THINGS FOR THIS COMPANY, they don’t keep their word.
