Half sword already feels like someone handed you a sword and wished you luck. Which is great. But sometimes you want a little more control, or maybe just some extra toys to break the game in interesting ways. That's where mods come in.
The Half Sword community has cooked up everything from quality-of-life tweaks to sandbox tools that completely change the way you approach a fight. The good news is that jumping into modding is a lot less intimidating than it sounds. With a quick setup and a little curiosity, you can start bending Half Sword to your will and turn an already ridiculous experience into something even more unsolvable.
How to modify Half Sword
For starters, go to Nexus mods and search for Half Sword. This is currently the main hub for Half Sword mods and where the majority of active creators upload their work.
Once you've found a mod that interests you, open its page and read the description carefully. Almost every mod includes installation instructions provided directly by the creator, and these instructions should always be treated as the final word for that particular mod.
In most cases, it's like installing a Half Sword mod as simple as downloading the file, extracting it if compressed, and drag the included files to the Half Sword game folder. Some mods may ask you to place files in a specific subfolder, while others may require you to replace or merge existing folders.
This is normal, but it's a good idea to back up your game files before installing anything, in case you want to go back later.
It is important to remember that not all mods install the same way. Some may contain extra steps, configuration files, or optional components, while others may depend on another mod or framework to function properly. Always check the mod description and possibly included readme files so you don't miss important details.
Once the files are in the correct location, start Half Sword and test the mod in game. If everything was installed correctly, the changes should be active immediately. If something doesn't work, visit the mod page again to double-check the instructions or see if other users have posted solutions in the comments.
