How to install Stray mods

The ideal way to spice up the detective game where you play a cat in a backpack solving crimes in a city full of robots is with stray mods. Stray, the popular cyberpunk feline simulator from BlueTwelve Studio, has been enjoyed by everyone from cat lovers to meme enthusiasts. The unusual images have captured the attention of even actual cats. But as with any popular game, creative modders have already started to create their own variations on Stray's design. Stray owners who play on PC can use add-ons to really make the game their own, thanks to the hard work of the modding community.

The feline protagonist has had the majority of these modifications made just for aesthetic reasons. Other modders, on the other hand, have been working diligently to improve and enhance the game's graphics. Even now, there are language mods that add arduous translations to make Stray accessible to a wider audience. If you can believe it, there is even a split-screen mod (opens in a new tab). For the benefit of all of us cat lovers, installing Stray modifications is pretty simple. How to use Nexus Mods and where to put those annoying files are both covered in our guide. Even though some mods are more complicated than others, there are some general guidelines that will help you navigate the modifying process. In no time at all, you'll have the personalized cat of your dreams.

How to Install Stray Mods

Although it can differ from mod to mod, the fundamental ideas involved in installing stray mods are very straightforward. Initially, you must navigate to the Stray page on Nexus Mods (which opens in a new tab). You may see a wide variety of different add-ons here. You just need to choose the one you prefer, go to the mod's page, and click the "manual" download icon on the screen's left side. You'll frequently need to drop some files into the stray folder on your computer.

By choosing "Browse Local Files" from the context menu when you right-click Stray in your Steam library, you may locate this folder. You can find instructions on exactly where to put the files you just downloaded on the add-Nexus Mod page if you go back there. Be sure to read the instructions carefully because some mods call for you to delete the original files and replace them with the mod files. The majority of the time, modding your game just requires downloading the mod and adding your new files to the specified locations. Although there may be multiple processes involved occasionally, the fundamental idea remains constant.

TIPS FOR STRAY MODS

Backing up your save file before modding any game is absolutely essential to ensure that you don't lose any progress in the event that the mod ruins your game. You'll need to know where to locate the Stray save file location on your PC in order to do so. Drag the a.pak file into the "Paks" folder if you want to use most decorative mods. The 'Content' folder, which may be found in the 'Hk project' folder, contains this folder. If you're unsure, you can use the search feature in Windows File Explorer to find the folders if they're not exactly where you anticipate them to be.

However, more complicated mods are probably going to have a more complicated list of instructions. For instance, the Splitscreen mod necessitates the download of the UnrealModLoader, which must be used to start the game after the mod has been installed. Although there is no set way to install these mods, trickier add-ons will take more effort.
