If you're looking to shake up your gameplay in R.E.P.O., modding is the way to go. It might sound complicated, but it's actually pretty simple to get started. I remember when I first started modding games, I was worried I'd break something. But with R.E.P.O., the community has made it super easy to jump in and start experimenting.

The short answer is: the easiest way to install mods in R.E.P.O. is by using a mod manager like Thunderstore or r2modman.

Getting Started with Mods in R.E.P.O.

Before you can start downloading all the cool new content, you need a mod manager. This is a tool that makes it easy to install, uninstall, and manage your mods. Think of it like an app store for your R.E.P.O. mods. For this guide, we'll be using the Thunderstore Mod Manager, as it's one of the most popular and user-friendly options available.

Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started:

1. Download Thunderstore Mod Manager: Head over to the official Thunderstore website and download the mod manager. It's a free tool and the installation is quick and easy.

2. Select R.E.P.O.: Once you've installed and opened Thunderstore, you'll be prompted to select a game. Search for "R.E.P.O." and select it from the list.

3. Create a Profile: You can create different profiles to have different sets of mods. This is handy if you want to have a specific set of mods for playing with friends, and another for playing solo. I have a "vanilla" profile for when I want to play the game as the developers intended, and a "wild" profile with all my favorite crazy mods.

4. Install BepInExPack and REPOConfig: Before you go on a mod downloading spree, there are two essential mods you need to install first: BepInExPack and REPOConfig. These are the foundations that most other mods are built on. Simply search for them in the "Online" tab of the mod manager and click "Download."

5. Start Modding!: With the essentials installed, you're now ready to explore the world of R.E.P.O. mods. Browse the "Online" tab, find mods that look interesting, and click "Download." The mod manager will handle the rest.

And there you have it! You're now ready to customize your R.E.P.O. experience with a huge variety of community-created content. Whether you're looking for new monsters, new items, or just some quality-of-life improvements, there's a mod out there for you.
