How to Install Hold Your King Mods

Before you start, make sure you have the latest version of the game installed on Steam. Modding is only supported on the PC version.

Manual Installation

Most mods are installed manually by downloading files and placing them in the correct folder. Here is a step-by-step guide:

1. Locate the Game Folder

   Navigate to your Steam library, right-click on Hold Your King, select "Manage" then "Browse local files". This opens the game's root directory.

2. Find or Create the Mods Folder

   Inside the game directory, look for a folder named "Mods" or "Paks". If it doesn't exist, create a new folder named "Mods".

3. Download Your Mod

   Download the mod file (usually a .pak or .zip file). If it is a zip file, extract its contents.

4. Place the Mod File

   Copy the mod file (e.g., mod_name.pak) into the "Mods" folder. Do not rename the file unless instructed.

5. Launch the Game

   Start Hold Your King. The mod should be active automatically. If the game crashes, remove the mod file and check for compatibility.
