Hello,

Snowrunner now officially supports mods on Nintendo Switch. I have a Switch with Atmosphere and 90DNS. I also have all the Nintendo URLs in /atmosphere/hosts. I can't access mod.io or use the mod browser in Snowrunner.
I know from an unmodded Switch that you have to enter an email address the first time you open the modbrowser to use it. This field does not appear on my Switch, probably because I block all possible Nintendo URLs.

Where do you have to put the mods on the SD card, which you can also download on mod.io via PC?

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried sd:/mods and Simple Mod Manager?

e: there’s more to it than my initial thought.

Looks like it run on Unreal Engine and the mods are .pak files.

I’ve not dealt with these much but @masagrator wrote a tutorial for unpacking them so I’m going to give it a go and see if I can get one of the new vehicle mods working.

If I’m reading this right, I might be able to just copy the .pak over as is and place it in romfs/01003310159F8000/Content/Paks

e: I’m pretty sure I’m not reading that right. Still digging…

I think I could make them work...
Did anyone discovered where does the game stores the mods on the console?
(I've checked the user save data, they're not stored there).
 
I was able to view the mod's contents by renaming it to (mod name).zip! I think I'm close to the answer...

The "4PDA guide" is literally the first search result for "Snowrunner" under "Nintendo" sub-forum. I assume I can't link it for the same reason @duckbill007 didn't link it in his post, but all the instructions are supposedly there...

The only problem is that the attached Switch Snowrunner Mods.zip ( 52.23 MB ) archive with user_profile and SD_Cache contents required for mods menu to become available is gone. It also contains SnowModsFree_v1.0, but I found it on "STMods", so that should probably work.

Hope this helps, even though it has been an eternity since the thread was created :blink:
