Dark Souls is a game with plenty to offer gamers on the PC, yet it's marred by being one of the worst port jobs in history. Good as it is, the game needs to be tweaked just to get it in a good and playable state fit for any self-respecting PC gamer.
With that in mind, gamers were able to fix the game by replacing the game's low-res textures with high definition ones, and enabling all manner of PC-centric optimizations to get the game looking, and feeling very much like it should've been had From Software done a better job with the port.
Read on to find out what mods you can use to fix the game on the PC and get it to look like a current-generation game instead of something you might've played on the PlayStation 2.

Before you install any of the other mods on this list the first thing you'll want to do is grab DSFix. If you plan on playing the game on the PC, this is the mod to get, especially because it fixes the unfortunate graphical issues that come with the vanilla version of the game. The game renders at a terribly low resolution of 720p with a framerate cap of 30fps, so getting DSFix fixes that.
This particular mod allows you to tweak the settings enabled by DSFix. You can alter the depth of field, HUD, SSAO, resolution, and more without having to dig into the configuration files.

Don't let the name put you off. This texture mod improves upon the game's art style by providing high resolution texture replacements to the parts of the game where the textures look less than stellar. It applies mostly to the terrain.

Like the previous mod, this mod fixes the way trees look. Due to the buggy way the game handles trees in the distance, it's a mod that counts as both a graphical mod as well as a bug fix. As the name implies, the trees should no longer look low-res once you install it.
