Getting Started with Blade & Sorcery Modding

Blade & Sorcery modding is conceptually simple — drop folders into the mods directory — but version-sensitive in a way that catches new modders. Each U-version (U10, U11, U12, U13) is essentially a different modding target.

Step 1 — Identify your B&S U-version

In-game main menu shows the version. Match this to mod compatibility tags on Nexus before downloading anything.

Step 2 — Find the mods folder

<B&S install>/BladeAndSorcery_Data/StreamingAssets/Mods/

Create the Mods folder if it doesn't exist.

Step 3 — Install mods

Nexus Mods Blade & Sorcery is the main hub. Filter by your U-version.

Three popular picks:

A weapon pack matching your aesthetic (lightsabers, swords, modern firearms).
Outer Rim — Star Wars conversion (one of the most-installed mods).
The Dungeon Configurator — sandbox dungeon customisation.

Each mod is a folder with a manifest.json plus assets. Extract into Mods/.

Step 4 — Launch and configure

Launch B&S in VR. The mods load automatically. New weapons appear at the weapon rack; new spells in the spell-selection menu; new NPCs in the spawn UI.

Mod-added settings (where mods provide configuration) appear in the mod's in-game menu.

Step 5 — Update handling

When WarpFrog ships a U-update:

Existing mods break immediately.
Wait for mod authors to update.
Update B&S only after your essential mods have caught up — or pin B&S to your working version via Steam beta branches.

Common gotchas

Wrong U-version mod. Match U-version tags precisely.
Mod folder structure wrong. Each mod folder must have manifest.json at its root, not nested.
Mod conflict. Two mods touching the same in-game entity. Disable one to test.
Performance with many mods. B&S physics is heavy in VR; mods add to the load.

If you're new to B&S, install fewer, larger mods rather than many small ones. Outer Rim alone is more content than the base game's faction roster.
