Contraption Modding

We currently have two types of mod: Neko Skins (skin the cat!) and Languages (Habla Contrapcionez?)

How to install a mod

1. Subscribe to a mod you like on the Steam Workshop
2. Restart the game or click Reload in the Settings > Mods menu on your monitor
3. Current language can be changed from the top of the Settings menu

You can also install mods directly by unpacking them into the Mods Folder at C:\Users\[YOUR_USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\FC-VR\Mods\[MOD_NAME]\
