Where Does Pillars of Eternity II Store Mods?
Deadfire mods load through Unity Mod Manager from a Mods folder in the game directory. Community patches lead the scene.
Last updated
Deadfire modding runs on Unity Mod Manager from a Mods folder in the game directory. Community balance patches, interface overhauls, and difficulty options dominate. The existing save post covers Watchers; this folder covers modifications.
The game patches rarely now, which keeps the stack calm compared to live titles. Manager basics still decide success: install into Mods, launch normally, read the manager log on failures. Keep one stable set for the canon voyage and experiments apart.

One folder per mod here loaded by Unity Mod Manager. Stable scene with rare patches. Back up faction saves before experiments.
Frequently asked questions
No mods load after an update. What happened?
Update Unity Mod Manager first, then each mod. Patches move the assemblies mods hook, so wholesale breakage points at the manager. Verify files to return to stock voyages.
Is it safe to remove mods mid playthrough?
Back up the save tree first. Faction flags span the archipelago, so removed mods strand captains mid voyage. Test newcomers on a spare Watcher.
