Heyo folks!
Hope youre all having a fab week! You might remember a little while ago we announced modding was in the works. Well, weve been busy working alongside the lovely folks over at mod.io to bring cross-platform modding to Two Point Campus!
Now were here with a very exciting update for you all, were delighted that Steam players on Windows are now able to begin experimenting and subscribing to mods in the latest Steam update! This is our next step in getting modding up and running for you all to enjoy, we cant wait to see what you create, and what your favourite items are!
For players over on Linux and Mac, were working on getting you onboarded. Now, let's catch you up with whats happened so far, shall we?
Over the last few weeks, awesome students over at UCA have been working with us to create their own item mods! As part of their course, theyve been learning how to use modding tools to customise textures and models to create their very own in-game items. Youll be able to check out their creations and have them in-game, but more on that later.
Modding then entered a Steam beta a few weeks ago, for anyone interested in getting a sneak peek at the new modding tools. Now all Steam Windows players can access the Mods menu in-game, and use player-created items, or even make their own.
This beta is the next step in getting modding up and running for everyone to enjoy across consoles and PC in Two Point Campus. For the folks playing over on console, in our next steps we're working on getting the modding features over to you as soon as possible.
How can I download mods?
Note: Before using modded items, we recommend you create a backup of your save files*.
First, get Two Point Campus updating on Steam, and whilst you wait head over to mod.io to create an account. You can browse all the lovely mods on offer over on the mod.io website, or (excitingly) in-game in the new Mods menu!
To use modded items in-game, load up the game and click the new Mods tab on the main menu. Here youll be able to browse all the current mods. When you hit subscribe on an item youll be prompted to log into your mod.io account. Follow the steps, and once youve logged in once, youre good to go ahead and subscribe to ALL the items you like!
Your subscribed items will download whilst youre in the main menu, and a little pop-up will show once installing is done!
Unsubscribing from mods or deleting the mods files will cause any in-game items to revert back to a default Two Point Campus item, so your game save wont be missing any items, this automatic reverting is to prevent any errors from popping up.
How can I create my own?
Youll need a few things before you get started, theres a handy guide for the initial setup, which includes installing Unity (the game engine we use) alongside setting up the modding project.
If you get stuck at any point, well do what we can to help out. Modding is all about the community after all! So join our Discord and jump in, no question is silly or not worth asking, plus you can share what youre working on with the community!
We have a load of guides to help you out on the journey. To get started modding, you can change our Geometric Canvas with an image of your choice, like your favourite cat!
Youll be able to do texture swaps to change things like the image on a poster, or you can fully replace the mesh (skin) of an item with something of your own. If you have a cool idea for a chair, go right ahead and swap your concept with one of our existing ones! We have guides to get you going with this, you can try customising a plant before moving on to choosing your own item meshes to mod.
Please have a read of our best practices for modding, this is particularly handy if you want to share your mods for other players to use!
Currently, the focus is on modding items, were working to potentially add things like wallpaper or floor customisations.
*Backing up your save files:
This is an optional step just to be extra cautious in case something goes wrong. Remember, modded items are user-made, and whilst items go through an approval step before going live, each system is different, so if at any point your game runs into issues, always try unsubscribing from mods.
