Where Does Scarlet Nexus Store Mods?
Scarlet Nexus mods are Unreal pak files in a ~mods folder under Content Paks. Confirm the project folder name on the mod page.
Last updated
Scarlet Nexus runs on Unreal Engine 4, so modding follows the engine's pak convention with a ~mods folder inside Content Paks. Create it once with the tilde and drop pak files inside. Costumes, weapon skins, and visual tweaks lead.
Project folder naming can vary between builds, so verify the tree on the mod's download page and treat the tail from Content onward as constant. Fully offline play keeps stakes low: worst case is a broken costume fixed by removing the pak. The scene stays cosmetic, which suits a story driven action RPG.

Create ~mods with the tilde for pak files. Verify the project folder name per build on the mod page. Offline single player keeps experiments safe.
Frequently asked questions
The mod does nothing. What should I check?
Verify the tilde, the pak placement, and the supported build. Bandai patches move the engine version mods target, so old costume paks fail quietly. Check the mod page first.
Are mods safe to use?
Yes, the game is fully offline single player, so cosmetic mods carry no risk. Brain map hunters and phase experiments stay consequence free. Back up saves anyway before story edits.
