Introduction:

Mod Engine 2 is a popular tool used to manage mods for Elden Ring, allowing players to add modifications without altering the base game files. A common question many users ask is: Can I add anything to the “mod” folder inside the Mod Engine 2 directory? This article explains the types of files you can add to this folder and how they affect your game.

What is the Mod Folder?

The “mod” folder in Mod Engine 2 is the designated location where all mods should be placed. When the game launches via Mod Engine 2, it loads the files in this folder to apply modifications to the game.

What Can You Add to the Mod Folder?

You can add any mod files that are designed to work with Mod Engine 2. These usually include:

• .dll files that modify game behavior
• Configuration files for specific mods
• Assets like textures, models, or sounds packed as per the mod’s instructions
• Scripts or patches intended for the game

However, these files must be compatible with Elden Ring and structured in a specific way.

What You Should Avoid Adding:

• Files unrelated to Elden Ring or Mod Engine 2
• Corrupted or incomplete mods
• Mods that require a different loader or installation method
• Files that could interfere with the game’s core data unless designed explicitly for modding

Tips for Using the Mod Folder:

• Always follow the mod creator’s instructions for installation .
• Keep your mods organized within subfolders if needed.
• Backup your saved data before adding or removing mods.
• Update mods regularly to maintain compatibility.

Conclusion:

While you can add a variety of mod files to the Mod Engine 2 “mod” folder, it’s crucial to ensure they are compatible and correctly installed. Adding inappropriate files can cause issues therefore sticking to trusted mods and following clear instructions is the best practice. Using the mod folder properly allows you to enjoy a customized Elden Ring experience safely and smoothly.
