  1. Install Mod Organizer 2 from Github

  • Once downloaded unzip the files
  • Find the folder where you installed MO2

  • Copy or drag the files in here, overwrite if prompted.
  1. Start up MO2 and create an Instance
  • Usually you will want to select Global Instance
  • Pick the game you want to mod and just proceed to the main UI.
  • If the game is not showing automatically you may want to scroll to the bottom and select the game folder manually.
  • However only games that are actually supported can be added.
  • Additional games can be requested on the MWS discord in the channel #mod manager
  1. You can now download games via the mod manager button on any supported mod page.
  • Make sure to open an instance of MO2 for the game you wish to download mods for or it will not work.
  • Should Mod Organizer 2 not show as an option on the Mod then its either inside the drop down menu on the side or the mod does not support automatic installation.
  1. Additionally to downloading mods via the mod manager buttons you can also drop files directly into MO2 for intallation.
  • To do that simply drag and drop files into the empty square in the downloads tab.
  1. To install a mod into the virtual file system simply doubleclick a file in the downloads tab.
  • Once its been installed itll be available in the list in the main window.
  • From now on you can toggle any mod on or off in this panel without any additional fill processing.
  • Your original game folder remains unaltered and you can run the unmodded game via steam or the game folder, as usual.
  1. If you wish to run a game with mods, simply make sure mods are enable and launch an option from the executables menu.
  • Some games require some additional setup steps which are detailed on other pages of this wiki. Have fun.
