Mods FAQ

Can I use mods on Nintendo Switch hardware?+

Only if your Switch has custom firmware (CFW) installed, which voids your warranty and risks account ban. We do not recommend or document CFW installation.

Do mods affect game saves?+

Most mods (textures, audio) do not touch save data at all. Gameplay mods that alter game logic could potentially cause issues — always back up your save before using gameplay mods.

Where's the best place to find safe mods?+

GameBanana (gamebanana.com) is the primary community hub for Switch game mods. It has community rating and comments to verify mod quality and safety. Avoid random Discord file drops from unknown sources.
