Mod Manager

The Reloaded II mod manager combined with the Granblue Fantasy Relink Mod Manager mod is the primary way to manage mods for GBFR. It quickly handles what would normally be a multi-step process with GBFRDataTools for all managed mods.

Requirements

Setting up Reloaded-II

First, install Reloaded-II using either the installer (Setup.exe) or portable release (Release.zip).

  1. Download Reloaded-II's Setup.exe or Release.zip (scroll down to the Assets of the latest release)
  2. Run Setup.exe, or extract Release.zip to its own folder
  3. Run Reloaded-II.exe.
  4. Press the + Icon to add a game and select Granblue Fantasy Relink.exe.

Then, install the Mod Loader for Relink (two options):

  • Drag/Drop gbfrelink.utility.manager.7z into Reloaded-II. Make sure Reloaded-II is not running as admin (Windows disallows drag/drop on elevated processes).
  • Or, in Reloaded-II's installation folder, open the folder called Mods.
    • Extract gbfrelink.utility.manager.7z using the Extract To... option. It should look like this:
      image Make sure to extract gbfrelink.utility.manager into its own folder.

Then make sure to tick on the checkbox next to Granblue Fantasy Relink Mod Manager to enable it.

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.
  2. Drag-Drop the zipped file into Reloaded-II.
  3. In Reloaded-II make sure to tick on the checkbox next to the mods to enable them.
  4. Press Launch Application to launch the game and install the mods.
    • If you'd like to just launch the game with mods from steam, follow the instructions in the next section.
  5. Head to Nexus Mods for finding mods. We also have a recommend mod list here.

Warning

The game sends quest reports/results as telemetry data (named PlayLog) which is recommended to disable when running mods (especially quest mods). You can do so by heading to Game Options -> Other -> Play Log -> Do Not Agree.

We also keep a list of AI-slop mods for informational purposes here.

Verify game files integrity on steam.

Removing Mods

Simply don't boot with Reloaded-II. The mod loader creates an overlay over the game folder for each mod, so no changes are ever permanent.

Compatibility with SpecialK and GBFRelinkFix

Some programs/mods that directly inject into the game, like SpecialK or GBFRelinkFix, will be incompatible with Reloaded-II's default setup. Thankfully, this is easy to remedy.

  1. In Reloaded-II click on GBFR's icon.
  2. Click Edit Application.
  3. Open the Advanced Tools & Options dropdown.
  4. Press Deploy ASI Loader.

You can now either launch the game through Reloaded-II or Steam.

To remove it, remove winmm.dll and the scripts folder from the game folder.

Game Updates

Warning

Do this before Downloading the game update through steam!

To properly update to a newer game version with mods installed:

  • Remove any tools/patch files you may have installed in the game's folder such as:
    • scripts folder
    • .asi files
    • winmm.dll

If that does not work, or you already downloaded the game update, delete the data.i file and verify game files integrity via Steam in the game's properties.

Alternative Mod Managers

We cannot ensure that these will remain compatible with the Reloaded II Mod Manager. It is always recommended to use the Reloaded II Mod Manager to ensure to get the latest fixes if and when game updates could break certain mods.

Modding Manually

Warning

It is important that you create a backup of data.i first. If you do not have one, you can verify game files integrity on Steam.

To add or update contents, simply add them to the data folder. You should preserve the same paths.

Example

If you want to mod system/table/ability.tbl, drop it to the data folder as such: 

.
├─ data/ # Always preserve game paths
│  └─ system/
│     └─ table/
│        └─ ability.tbl
│
...

Then run the following command:

Command
GBFRDataTools.exe add-external-files -i <path to data.i>

Note

If you are editing or adding files, you must re-run the command! You may also need to restore your original data.i if you've removed a file that was previously registed and wish to restore it.
