Finding the mod you want

First, you need to pick the mod you actually want to use. Read the mod’s description carefully, and always check the comments. If a mod is causing crashes or bugs, someone’s probably already mentioned it. However, if you decide a pick is not for you (or it’s causing problems), go back to the same Paks > ~mods folder and delete its files.

Then launch Mafia The Old Country again. Most mods won’t touch the original game files, but it’s still smart to keep a backup of your game before you start modding.

When you’ve made your choice, download it using the Manual Download button. Avoid auto-installers for this game as manual control keeps you from accidentally overwriting the wrong files. You can also check our guide on the best mods in Mafia The Old Country.

Installing the mods

Once your mod file has been downloaded, you can start getting it into the game. Begin by opening your game’s installation folder.

If you’re using Steam, right-click the game in your library, hover over Manage, and select Browse Local Files. This will take you directly to the game directory. Inside, open the Content folder.

Here, you’ll see another folder named Paks (this is where the mods go). If there isn’t already a mod folder inside it, create one and name it exactly ~mods (including the tilde).

Now, copy everything from your downloaded mod into this ~mods folder. Once that’s done, launch the game. If the installation was successful, your mod should be active and ready to use.
