Installing Mods
There are basically two ways to install mods into BCML: the GameBanana tab or adding a manual download. To use the GameBanana tab, just switch to the tab, find a mod you want, and click Install. You can also view the mod first, and you may be presented with a dropdown offering alternative or additional mod files you can install.
To install manually, click the floating action button on the Mods tab of the main BCML window.
(Though you can also drag-and-drop files onto the BCML window or double-click the mod in Windows).
This will open up the installation dialog. Click "Browse..." to select the mod(s) you wish to install.
BCML supports two kinds of mods: graphic packs (Cemu/Wii U only) and BNPs (Cemu/Wii U/Switch). When
browsing for mods, you can either select a packaged mod (BNP, ZIP, 7z, or RAR file) or select the
meta file (info.json
or rules.txt
) in an unzipped mod folder.
You can add as many mods as you wish to the installation dialog and sort them how you like. Note that, regardless of how you sort your main mod list, the install dialog sorts mods in the order that it will install them. This means the last mod on the list will be the last one installed and will take priority over the others.
The install dialog also contains an overflow menu with advanced install options. If you know exactly what you're doing, you can use these to customize the installation of a mod, but in most cases you should only use these options if instructed by a mod creator.
When you have added all of the mods you want to install, click "Install" or "Queue." Clicking "Install" will immediately proceed to install them, starting at the end of your current load order. "Queue" will add them temporarily to your mod list, where you can sort them however you may need before clicking "Apply" to install and sort your mods.
