I'm also hoping that someone can get mods working for the game. Tried looking into things a bit myself, but couldn't figure it out. Doesn't seem like the Switch version of Skyrim where the modding stuff is still kinda there.
I've looked into this, no dice as of yet.
What's funny though is that we now know that loading mods is possible because in the HatinTimeMods.ini, the devs left that config with a few mods that were set to disable.
I've tried dropping mods with layersFS into the HatinTimeGame/Mods/ directory and tried editing the HatinTimeMods.ini and pointed the mods in my mods folder at it and I couldn't get it to work either.
What is possible though is FULL graphical tuning. You can change every single setting. You can also uncap the framerate, but there aren't a lot of places where you can break towards 60 fps. In the SwitchSystemSettings.ini G4B even left a comment saying
which is pretty nice.
You can also load Nyakuza Metro by swapping the map names. (I'm not really sure if it's actually fully playable.)

Code:
; MotionBlurSamples was previously 9. MotionBlurSamples has no CPU cost, and on Switch we're CPU bound, so we can increase it to 13.which is pretty nice.

nice day 1 discovery, i'm sure within the next days we will get a way to implement mods easily

I don't know this is the same for everyone, but I found when dumping the update file and looking into HatinTimeMods.ini, there seems to be some left over mod data in the update. I don't think the files for the mods are in the data of the update left over, but it definitely did exist at some point.
The Vinesauce mod caught me by surprise, but the Psychonauts one is interesting as well.
This leftover code doesn't exist in the base dump though.
Code:
[playablebeter.Kido_Player_BeterMod]
playerSet=0
moveSet=0
mod_disabled=0
[Vineshroom.Vineshroom]
bCorruptPlayer=0
bCorruptEnemy=0
bCorruptActor=0
mod_disabled=1
[Psychonauts.Psychonauts]
mod_disabled=1The Vinesauce mod caught me by surprise, but the Psychonauts one is interesting as well.

That's... Actually really interesting. Just took a look at my dumped files, and it's basically the same, except mine has different mods in it. Mine has PlayAsMuGirlMod, PaperHatInTimeMod, and DanageMod.
How about save transferring (PC>Switch)? I really don't want to go through all the Death Wishes again, I can only handle so much
It's been looked into, but a direct transfer isn't possible. The switch save has additional configs and what not in the save file.
It'll be a lot of work to just make a tool to transfer..

wanted to update saying by setting mod_disabled equal to 0 on the vineshroom mod, on chapter 3 of mafia town the ground textures seem to be replaced by the corruption badge textures (the badge that comes with the vineshroom mod). it's not ground breaking but it's something. no pun intended.

I wonder if using the Hat in Time Modding Tools could help with making switch version modding possible? Some mods are activated by the mods option in the UI, and others are activated by the goofy mafia guy in the mailroom, so I wonder if you could somehow find a way to get the two added into the Switch Version's UI + spaceship.
no one has managed to figure it out.
It seems to be possible, because there are actual files that point to mods having been there when they were compiling the updates but no one knows how to get them running.
How about using homebrew on switch? There has been done crazy things there already. An app that import mods would do the trick. Like the ones for smash-stages and MM2-stages.
the smash modding app makes the game go absurdly slow. It's easier to just use atmosphere copy and paste.
There's not even a method to load mods onto the game itself. Mods need to be "cooked" (basically compiled) for switch and only the people at Gears For Breakfast can do that.
