Yes you need at least atmosphere layered fs or sxos running on your switch for mods to work, layered fs emulates the file structure of games allowing you to run modded files
Extracting the romfs takes while there are some tutorials online but there are some files that you you will need to source yourself
I have the digital version tho.

a place to upload working mods.
Most likely because you used modified PC version game files instead of getting the Switch version game files and converting/ porting mods from the PC version over. What update version is your game on? 1.09.1? For me I had to dump both the game and the game update and then create a merged romfs folder from the base game data and the update data. Then I unpacked data2.cpk and compared PC and Switch version files in a hex editor and found some key differences between the game files. I suppose the only mods that don't have to be converted may be cosmetic character mods for both CaC and Dragon Ball characters but at the same time you have to make sure to repack them correctly. @Kalisto is using SX Pro to play Xenoverse 2 and hasn't installed updates and DLC so the cpk files are different. I ended up repacking my own custom mods - made with some Xenoverse 2 game file editing tools and some hex editing with forum hex edit mapping and cheat table values from people modding the PC version as reference - into the 600+ mb data2.cpk file that is used for the game data after the latest update. Then I put that 600+ mb file in the proper romfs folder for layeredfs and loaded it with no problems at the title screen. Yes, there are still bugs to work out as loading the Future in Ruins stage causes a game crash and reloading Conton after almost every quest causes the game to softlock. Perhaps a xv2patcher for the Switch that follows the concept of the xv2patcher for the PC version but accounts for the Switch's memory capabilities is what we need? Basically, you'd follow the data folder structure that gets repacked into data2.cpk but instead of repacking it is used to override specific game files after files packed into data2.cpk and in a sense acting almost like a game update. Hopefully we see something like that in the future with enough invested interest and effort for someone to program such a tool. But for now, repacking data2.cpk with proper compatible game file mods and loading with layeredfs - and with some glitches - will have to do.
Those won't work. You need to dump the romfs from the game using hactool and use the files in data.cpk to make mods yourself.
I know. I used someone else's data1.cpk file. I unpacked it and loaded in the mods, I wanted then I packed it But it didn't work. It froze with saiyan tail mod on title screen. Tried a stage mod but, when I selected the stage I got infinite loading.

Somehow got the all in shop patch hack working. Perhaps the most updated tool from xv2 lib tools that isn't the gui version is the reason it worked. Also edited the shop files with the idb editor and got the mentor gifts and the Ultra Instinct super soul to show up. Testing experimental boss skills mods - non-CaC for now - and so far the animations don't load properly except for Darkness Mixer so if some proper mod is made for CaC equippable skills that end up being the boss skills it would have to account for loading all the animations for the CaCs. Found the original save decryptor which is updated for 1.09.1 and comes with the source code so with some research and examination of the save file and some knowledge of how to compile it with the right changes a save decryptor could be made with the source so that the save file can be decrypted, edited with the PC version save editor, and then re-encrypted and restored to the game for save editing.
yeah I've been working on that right now but everything is still being tested. you need a way to dump the updated romfs to account for the 1.09.1 game update. mods indeed work butr it requires packing into a 600+ megabytes file and loading it with LayeredFS. also it's not perfect because of softlocks and one particular stage causing game crashes. Just assume we'll need a special mods loader for this game because layeredfs wont quite work right. Save editing is being worked on. Someone in another thread has made a proof of concept save decryptor for Switch version saves but the addresses are still shifted so the editor doesn't work and the decryptor tool can't re-encrypt the saves yet. So expect things to not be avaliable yet until proper modding is developed. But it is definitely possible to mod this game.
If only there was a cheatroom mod like Skyrim that we could port over to the Switch for DBZ.
But It will come in due time.

I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs -
@
Psionic Roshambo:
I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
