How to Set Up Nexus Mod Manager for Darkest Dungeon

If you're new to modding your copy of Darkest Dungeon, setting up Nexus Mod Manager can seem overwhelming. However, with a few simple steps, you'll be able to easily install and manage your mods. In this article, we'll walk you through the process of setting up Nexus Mod Manager for Darkest Dungeon.

First, let's talk about mod priority and load order. When you have multiple mods that change the same files in your game, the one higher in the list will take priority over the others. This means that if you're using two mods that both affect the same aspect of the game, the one listed first will be loaded and not the second one. To get around this issue, it's essential to install mods in a specific order, with the most important ones at the top.

To make things easier, we recommend checking out the Mod Priority Guide by Hunting Slime on Steam, which provides an updated list of mod priorities as of February 2020. You can also find additional modding guides on the Darkest Dungeon Discord channel.

Once you have your mods installed, you'll want to check their compatibility with each other. One way to do this is to compare the stats of popular mod characters with those of base level character stats using a table like the one below:

| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

Green letters indicate that the hero has higher or the highest stats in a given field, while red letters show a character with very low stats compared to others.

Now, let's move on to the installation process. Most mods will provide instructions for installation, but if you need to install a mod manually, you can follow these steps:

1. Find the mod on the Nexus or another Darkest Dungeon modding site and download the file.

2. Create a new folder in your game directory called 'modded'.

3. Put the downloaded file into the modded folder.

Alternatively, you can install mods from the Steam workshop by following these steps:

1. Find the mod on the page you want to subscribe to.

2. Click the 'Subscribe' button.

There are currently two methods of installing mods: through the Steam workshop and manual installation. Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, so it's essential to choose the one that works best for you.

In conclusion, setting up Nexus Mod Manager for Darkest Dungeon is a straightforward process that requires some basic knowledge of mod priority and load order. By following these steps and using the resources provided above, you'll be able to easily install and manage your mods and enhance your gameplay experience.
