How to install Mods for Space Marine 2
Space Marine 2 Modding has changed over the years and this guide aims to stay updated every time the process gets changed. Before you start it is important to note that Modding only works on PC platforms. It is possible on a Steam Deck but gets more complicated.
Different mods will have different installation instructions but the primary way 90% of mods will be installed is through the "Mods" Folder. When you download mods from a site like Nexus Mods, you will receive a compressed file usually in the form of a ZIP or RAR file. These files need to have their contents extracted before they can be installed. The Mods folder will only load files that are formatted as PAK files. If a ZIP or RAR file makes its way into the folder, it will either be ignored or the game will attempt to load it but fail, and you may experience a broken game. If you download a file already in PAK format, you do not need to extract it and it can go straight into your mods folder.
PC Installation
The Mods folder can be located wherever your Space Marine 2 game directory is. The file path will be "client_pc/root/mods". After extracting the mod that you downloaded, all you need to do is drag the PAK file into this folder.
Steam Deck Installation
Put your Steam Deck into Desktop mode, and connect a mouse and keyboard. The file path will be "client_pc/root/mods". After extracting the mod that you downloaded, all you need to do is drag the PAK file into this folder.
Console Installation (Xbox/PlayStation)
If you play Space Marine 2 on a Xbox or PlayStation, you are unable to modify your game directly. However because of the way the game loads Mods, if you get a friend on PC or Steam Deck to install a mod, and have them host a private lobby, their mods will apply to your game. This does not work with every mod, and you will have to ask the mod creator if this is something their mod supports.
