Mod Manager

The Reloaded II mod manager combined with the FINAL FANTASY XVI Mod Loader is the primary way to manage mods for FFXVI.

It quickly handles what would normally be a multi-step process with FF16.Tools for all managed mods.

Info

For more information if needed, refer to the Reloaded II Quick Start Guide.

Installing Mods

  1. Download a mod. You can find mods on sites like Nexus Mods and GameBanana. Make sure that they are compatible with Reloaded-II.
  2. Same process, drag & drop.
  3. Press Launch Application to launch the game and install the mods.

Removing Mods

To remove mods, you can either:

  • Disable all mods in Reloaded-II except the Mod Loader, and boot up once, or
  • Delete any .diff files in the game's data/ folder.

Modding Manually

Warning

If you intend to publish mods, you should create mods for Reloaded-II instead of modding manually. Otherwise pack files may conflict.

If you'd like to mod contents manually, you can do so using FF16Tools.

You may choose to rebuild a .pac entirely, or preferably you can use .diff.pac files.

When packing an extracted folder, the output pack file should have .diff in its name. The game will load this file.

So if your files came from 0000.pac, the new pac file should be 0000.diff.pac.

Then run the following command:

Command
FF16Tools.exe pack -i <path to folder>
