Why Mod Marvel Rivals?

Modding has become a popular way for gamers to customize their experience. Installing mods for Marvel Rivals allows players to:

• Enhance gameplay with new features and content.
• Customize character abilities and visuals.
• Improve overall game performance with optimization mods.

With the Rivals Reconstructed Mod Manager, the process is straightforward, whether you play through Steam or Epic Games.

Step 1: Create a Nexus Mods Account

Before you can start modding, you'll need to visit Nexus Mods to access the mod manager and other mods. Here’s how to set up your account:

• Go to Nexus Mods.
• Sign up for a free account. Doing so is essential for downloading mods.

Once you're set up, you can easily browse and download mods for your game!

Step 2: Downloading the Rivals Reconstructed Mod Manager

After creating your account, it’s time to download the mod manager:

1. Locate the manual download button on the mod manager’s page.
2. Click it, and your download should begin.
3. Once downloaded, navigate to your Downloads folder to find the zipped file.

Step 3: Extracting the Mod Manager Files

To extract the files needed for installation, you'll need a program like WinRAR. If you’re unfamiliar with it, you can refer to my guide linked below:

Follow these steps to extract the files:

1. Right-click on the zipped file and select Extract Here or Extract to [folder name].
2. Continue clicking through the newly created folder until you locate the RivalsReconstructed.exe file.

Step 4: Running the Mod Manager

1. Double-click the RivalsReconstructed.exe file to launch the mod manager.
2. If prompted with a security warning, click on More Info and then Run Anyway.
3. Upon launch, select your game launcher (Steam or Epic Games).

If the mod manager cannot find your game files, you can easily locate them manually. Follow these instructions:

For Epic Games:

• Open your Library.
• Find Marvel Rivals and click the three dots.
• Go to Manage > Installation and click on the folder icon. Navigate through:
  • Marvel Game > Marvel Content > Packs.

Copy this address; you’ll need it for the mod manager.

For Steam:

• Right-click on Marvel Rivals, go to Manage > Browse local files.
• Follow the same navigation as above to the Packs folder and copy that address.

Step 5: Installing the Mods

After setting up the mod manager with your game files, you're ready to install some mods:

1. Navigate back to the mod manager and click on Manual Download for your desired mods.
2. Once downloaded, return to your Downloads folder and extract the mod files as you did earlier.
3. Drag the pack files from the extracted folder directly onto the mod manager.
4. Press Execute Mod to finalize the installation.

You’ll see a notification confirming that the mods were installed successfully! To check, you can go to Manage Mods where you’ll find your newly added mods listed, which you can enable or disable as needed.

Step 6: Using Presets for Mod Management

One of the standout features of the Rivals Reconstructed Mod Manager is the Presets function. This allows you to create mini mod packs that you can switch between easily. To set up presets:

1. Go to Edit Mods.
2. Check the boxes for the mods you wish to enable for your preset.
3. Press Save Changes.
4. Load your preset each time you want to play with those specific mods.

Pro Tip: Limit the Number of Installed Mods

When installing mods, it’s best not to install more than four at a time. The menu does not yet include a scroll function, and you need to hit the Execute button correctly. Managing your mods efficiently will save you from potential installation issues.

Keeping Your Mod Manager Updated

To ensure you always have the latest features:

• Click the update icon in the mod manager to check for new versions.
• As of this writing, the current version is 2.2.

Community Support and Resources

If you have questions or need additional help:

• Check out their Discord channel to connect with other modders.
• It’s a great place to ask for advice or share your modding experiences.

Lastly, consider showing support to the mod authors by hitting the Endorse Button on the mod manager’s Nexus page. It's a small way to contribute to the community and gives mod creators the motivation to keep improving their tools.
