Likely safeLooking good. Skim the notes, then go.
Wilds title updates often change the game's data files and code, which breaks REFramework scripts and armor/pak mods until they are updated.
⚠ Tracks the Steam PC version. Capcom doesn't support mods: after a title update, mods can stop the game launching until they are updated.
No sign of trouble with Ver.1.042.00.03. REFramework hasn’t named this patch in a release, but there’s either a newer release or no breakage reports since. Probably fine — skim the notes before updating.
nightly-014382026-11-04 · sourceLatest release is newer than patch Ver.1.042.00.03, but notes do not explicitly mention that version. Each nightly is one build for every RE Engine game, so a newer nightly doesn't prove a Wilds fix. No open crash reports since the patch. (Searched praydog/REFramework issues that mention Wilds; the nightly repo has no tracker of its own.)
Copies pak and loose-file mods into the game folder and doesn't hook the game, so patches don't break the manager itself; the mods it installs can still need updates. No public release feed; check the Nexus page for a new version after a big title update.
Statuses are inferred from public release data (Steam news, GitHub, Thunderstore, Mojang/Fabric/Forge/NeoForge/Modrinth APIs). They are not guarantees — verify on each project's page before updating. Items marked “Check manually” are not counted in the verdict.

nightly-01395Framework
praydog's mod framework for RE Engine games. Every script mod for Wilds needs it.
Download REFramework.zip and extract only dinput8.dll next to MonsterHunterWilds.exe. If the newest nightly crashes, try the previous one.

Tracked framework: Likely safe for the latest patch.
Framework
Shared scripts and resources used by several popular editor mods. Does nothing on its own.
Requires: REFramework

Interface
Overlay showing monster health, parts, ailments, your damage meter and buff timers, without editing game files.
Standalone app (needs the .NET 10 Desktop Runtime), not an REFramework mod; its release notes name the Wilds version they support.

Doesn't depend on a tracked framework; check its page after big patches.
Interface
Shows which elements each monster is weak to as icons on the HUD.
Install it with Fluffy Mod Manager; higher-priority texture mods can hide the icons.

Current verdict: Likely safe. No sign of trouble with Ver.1.042.00.03. REFramework hasn’t named this patch in a release, but there’s either a newer release or no breakage reports since. Probably fine — skim the notes before updating. Latest patch tracked: Ver.1.042.00.03 (2026-10-28).
Wilds title updates often change the game's data files and code, which breaks REFramework scripts and armor/pak mods until they are updated.
Automatically: REFramework (nightly). Linked for manual checks (no public release API): Fluffy Mod Manager.
Game patches come from official Steam announcements (app 2246340), checked against Steam's public build (api.steamcmd.net); updates announced only off Steam are added by hand with cited sources. Framework data comes from GitHub releases. ModSafe does not scrape Nexus Mods or SteamDB.
Capcom says mods aren't supported and can stop the game launching after an update. If that happens, uninstall all mods (in Fluffy Mod Manager, "Uninstall all mods"), remove dinput8.dll, verify the game files in Steam and launch once unmodded, then reinstall mods as they get updated for the new version.
Steam has no 'never update' option. In your Library, open Monster Hunter Wilds > Manage > Properties > Updates and set Automatic updates to 'Wait until I launch the game', then launch through your mod loader or play in Offline Mode. Steam has no previous-version branch for Monster Hunter Wilds (checked Oct 26, 2026), so back up the game folder before patches; rolling back otherwise means the Steam console's download_depot command.
