Much like The Elder Scrolls Online and World of Warcraft before it, WildStar has full support for add-ons that allow players to change just about every aspect of the game’s user interface. These modifications allow the interface to better suit individual player’s needs, by making it—to cite a few examples—easier to keep track of where your party members are, where to find amps you need to unlock, and more.
Keep in mind that these add-ons and modifications are not endorsed or supported by WildStar’s creators at Carbine Studios, so don’t go running to them for help if you encounter bugs or any other issues with them.
Without further ado, here are some of the best, and must-have addons for WildStar available at the game’s launch that were compiled by members of the WildStar community on reddit. You’ll need to install the Curse Client to download and use these mods, so grab that first. To download the mods, simply copy and paste any one of the following mods into the Curse Client to search and download it. It’s pretty easy.
Your mileage may vary. I recommend playing the game for at least 8 levels before installing one of these mods, as it takes some time to get familiar with the game's default settings.
1) TapThat: This addon automates all simon activities and "F" sequences. Even the Scientist puzzle games
2) Ayth_Quest: Draws lines to all quests currently being tracked and shows where others are.
3) Clockstalker: Adds a clock to the game
4) GalaxyMeter: DPS meter like Skada from WoW
5) ZenRadar: Highlights lorebooks that you haven't read in game
6) Gatherbuddy: Shows where nodes are and color codes them
7) HarvestPlates: Puts nameplates on all nodes in the world!
8) RareTracker: Shows spawns of rare mobs in the area
9) AnotherSCT: Scrolling Combat Text
10) VendorAlertMessageMover : this moves the "sold" notification message further down so that it doesn't hide the last item in your vendor sell list (stupid design choice by default).
11) ClassicQuestDialog : if you're looking for a more WoW based quest experience, this will help you.
12) JunkIt : helps to repair and sell things when visiting a vendor, to keep your bags clear.
13) LocalQuestTracker : hides quests you are tracking that take place in other areas than your current zone.
