The Neighbours is a Vintage Story mod by ZigTheHedge. The Neighbours adds hostile and mysterious fantasy creatures to Vintage Story, from swift predators to strange glowing lifeforms.
Why this mod is worth installing
Choose this mod if ordinary survival encounters feel predictable and you want exploration to carry more risk. Its creatures can be disabled individually when some threats do not suit your playthrough.
What The Neighbours adds
The Neighbours introduces a group of unusual entities with different temperaments and habitats. Tickling is a tall, slow creature with enormous horn-like growths, while Shintorickae is a tiny, extremely fast insect whose glowing eyes make it especially unsettling at night. Its behavior can shift between immediate attack and retreat when threatened.
Not every encounter is a direct fight. Brayer is generally peaceful until provoked, and Turtor stays in water, making it difficult to catch even when you are looking for an unusual food source. Glowshroom adds an eerie environmental mystery: it shines blue, releases particles, and produces strange sounds whose purpose is unclear.
Ampels are encountered as families rather than isolated individuals. Females are larger and more aggressive, children are usually calm, and adults can clash with wolves, creating dangerous wildlife encounters that may turn toward the player afterward.
The mod is designed to make travel and hunting less predictable. Its creatures are tough enough to reward caution, observation, and choosing when to flee instead of treating every new sight as easy prey.
