I know this is old but I just found an online tool that claims to be able to convert PC mods for use on switch. I converted a mod by drag and drop in seconds but haven't tried it on my switch yet but plan on doing so soon. I found this on the Nier modging Discord. It also has a section devoted to switch and help with installing mods. https://cabalex.github.io/nier2switch/

"Make Switch mods with one click
A little project based on some of the browser Platinum Games tools I've made in the past...
Blender is a hassle (sorry wolf)... so convert your PC mods to Switch with one click! No downloads, no Blender plugins - just upload your mod ZIP from Nexus and the converter will automagically make it a Switch mod you can unzip directly to your mods folder.

Important caveat
I haven't been able to get this working on UI files like core/, font/, or ui/. I suspect this is because the game requires ASTC textures for these instances, which don't exist in the PC version. I'm still looking into this, but for now UI mods will convert successfully but the game will refuse to load them. Sorry Switch translation modders :(
I might have to implement the ASTC specification from scratch in JavaScript which I really don't want to do...

Check it out! (I've only had the time to test on a few mods, but it should work identically to my N2B2N fork. Let me know if there are issues.)"

Kinda works. It has graphical issues, the only one that worked correctly for me was Miku's hair. And there is a skin (Minato Aqua) that for some odd reason kills the character but the game continues running in the background (video attached).

But hey! This is the first time I've seen Nier Automata mods working on the Nintendo Switch version. Previously trying to copy and paste only caused the game to not load. It's a good progress and work!

You must have an account and in your account preferences you must allow nsfw.

If the file comes in . rar you must extract it and archive it in . zip so that nier2switch would accept it.

I don't know, i'm looking to get compatible mods for NA on my modded switch but can't seem to make them work even with the NieR2Switch tool, maybe i'm putting them on the wrong folder?

I don't know what i'm doing wrong I converted several mods using the tool and none seem to work, they do get converted but my modded switch doesn't recognize them for some reason, am I putting them in the wrong folder or there's extra folders that i'm missing? I put them in atmosphere/content/010056B015FE8000/romfs/pl/ then pl000d dat and pl000d.dtt files... Am I missing a folder or so? need help please

Maybe you have a different game id/game region?


Run your game and press home button go to your edizon se you will find the game id of the game you're currently running.

Officer, Nun and Mahou 2B mods looked a little broken i think its because of how the converter is a little new

but the Shinobi mod came out fine though the shader is kind of broken when the sun hits
