## Guide - Adding mods
|
|
|
|
**Note:**<br>
|
|
|
|
- The `~/retrodeck/mods/citra/` represents the `/load/mods/` folder in Citra.
|
|
- `TITLEID` is different for every game.
|
|
|
|
On the Steam Deck this could be easier to do in `Desktop Mode`.
|
|
|
|
There are two ways of adding mods into Citra
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
1. Extract any mod from compressed `.zip` or any other format to folders.
|
|

|
|
3. Right click on the game you want to add mods into.
|
|
4. Click on `Open Mods Location`.
|
|
5. Paste the mod files inside that directory, each folder is stored by the `TITLLEID` of the game.
|
|
6. Quit Citra
|
|
|
|
### From the mod folder directly
|
|
|
|
1. Extract any mod files from compressed `.zip` or any other format into folders.
|
|
2. Go into `~/retrodeck/mods/citra/`. The folders are all named by `TITLEID`.
|
|
3. Past the mods into the right `~/retrodeck/mods/yuzu/<TITLEID>` folder.

|
|
|

|
|
- `TITLEID` is different for every game.

|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
* You have a `.zip` file for a game that contains the `/load/textures/0000001000` folders.
|
|
* All you need to do is take the TITLEID folder: `0000001000` and put it into `~/retrodeck/texture_packs/citra/`
|
|
* So the end result looks like: `~/retrodeck/texture_packs/citra/0000001000`
