This guide will go over how to do this manually. + +A quick image guide to installing mods can be found below: + + + +If this doesn't make sense to you, you can follow the text guide below. + +First, you'll want to find a mod you want from [Northstar's Thunderstore page](https://northstar.thunderstore.io/). + +Once you find your mod, hit the `Manual Download` button near the top of the page. This will download the mod's Thunderstore package (note: NOT the mod itself). +While you're doing this, check if the mod requires any additional dependencies, which you can see in the area circled below: + + + +If a mod says it has required dependencies (apart from Northstar), download them as well. + +After this, open the folder that gets downloaded. Inside of here, you should normally see a folder called `mods`, and a few files called `icon.png`, `manifest.json`, and `README.md`. +From here, open the `mods` folder. Inside of here, you will find the actual folder for the mod. Move this folder to `Titanfall2/R2Northstar/mods`. Make sure to repeat this process for any and all dependencies the mod has. + +Note that there are variants of these. Some mods you download from Thunderstore are actually packages of mods stored inside the `mods` folder in the Thunderstore package. +Some mods are formatted "improperly" (when following modding guides; though these aren't exactly "wrong") and won't have a `mods` folder, instead they just have the mod folder itself in the downloaded Thunderstore package. |
