Getting Started with Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous Modding

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous modding uses Unity Mod Manager just like Pillars of Eternity and Pathfinder: Kingmaker. The framework is shared; only the specific mods change. If you've modded any other UMM-based RPG, the install flow is identical.

This guide walks the standard install on the current Steam build of WotR, with all DLC supported.

Step 1 — Install Unity Mod Manager

Unity Mod Manager is the standalone UMM installer. Same tool, same flow as Pillars/Kingmaker.

Add Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous as a target game, point UMM at the install directory, and click Install on the Settings tab. UMM patches UnityEngine.dll with its hook.

Launch WotR. Ctrl+F10 opens the UMM menu in-game. Confirm it works before continuing.

Step 2 — Install TabletopTweaks-Core

TabletopTweaks-Core (TTT-Core) is a foundational framework mod that many WotR mods depend on. Install it first.

Drop the zip onto UMM's Mods tab, or extract into Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous/Mods/. Launch WotR and confirm TTT-Core appears in the UMM mods list.

Step 3 — Install your gameplay mods

Three popular picks:

• TabletopTweaks — companion mod to TTT-Core. Rebalances classes and feats closer to tabletop Pathfinder rules.
• ToyBox — extensive QoL menu. Despite the "cheats" framing on Nexus, most players use it for narrative-customisation (re-spec mythic paths, unlock alternate companions, fix bug-stuck quests).
• EnhancedInventory — UI mod expanding the inventory display.

Drop each into UMM. Restart WotR. The mods appear in the UMM menu (Ctrl+F10) with toggle and settings tabs.

Step 4 — Configure in-game

UMM's in-game menu is where you tune mods. Most mods expose dozens of toggle-able sub-features through their manifest. Spend a few minutes the first time exploring each mod's settings page — many useful features (especially in ToyBox) are off by default.

Step 5 — Save handling

WotR's narrative state is complex. Six acts, multiple mythic paths, hundreds of branch points. The save game embeds enough state that mid-save mod changes can produce subtle inconsistencies.

Two pragmatic rules:

1. Install before starting the act, not mid-act. Especially for mods that touch mythic paths or class definitions.
2. Back up your save (%AppData%/../LocalLow/Owlcat Games/Pathfinder Wrath Of The Righteous/Saved Games/) before installing a new content-affecting mod.

Common gotchas

• TabletopTweaks-Core missing. Many WotR mods require it. The error in UMM's logs is usually clear: "missing dependency TabletopTweaks-Core".
• DLC content not affected by mod. Some mods only support base-game content. Check the mod's compatibility notes for DLC.
• Two mods touching the same mythic path. Conflict. Pick one or read both authors' notes on co-existence.
• Game updates broke UMM. Re-run UMM's installer to re-patch the updated UnityEngine.dll. Rare for WotR — the game has been stable for years.
• Mod loaded but features missing. Check the mod's UMM settings page (Ctrl+F10) — many features need explicit enabling.

WotR's modding community is one of the more active mid-size CRPG scenes. The same patterns apply to Pathfinder: Kingmaker — see the Kingmaker guide.
