To install simply download the .zip file and extract it on your PC.
This Mod Manager was modified off the Fluffy Manager 5000: Nexusmods.com
^All rights for the Mod Manager go to Fluffy^
If you have never installed Mods before you also need to (once-off):
- Go to the main game directory (...\steamapps\common\Battlefleet Gothic Armada II) You can also get there by going to BFG2s properties in steam and going 'browse local files'
- Follow the main folders down until you reach a 'Pak' folder ...\steamapps\common\Battlefleet Gothic Armada II\BattlefleetGothic2\Content\Paks
- Create a folder called 'Vanilla' here and move the large pak file inside it (otherwise mods get overwritten)
Go back to your mod folder and launch the mod manager : )You select the mods you want by flipping a switch. Super easy!(Mod Manager comes with 7 pre-loaded mods you can use)
To add new mods, or update current ones just copy and paste their .pkg file into the Mod Manager 'Mods' folder: ....\ModManager\Games\BFG2\Mods
Please ensure that you've got python and crypto installed for it to function: Bfga2.wikidot.com
Disabling all mods reverts you back to the vanilla game. Note that only some mods will work with multiplayer due to EAC. If you are just playing Single-player it is recommended that you to to BFG2's steam properties and add -NoEAC to launch options.

Is this still going to be updated? I don't really understand how to get a pkg file out of the mods since all they come with is pak files and you mentioned it would be simplified in the next update.
Bit of an issue -when I create a vanilla folder and move the PAK folder into it the mod manager won't start the game, I keep getting an error message saying that the files are missing.
You want the 'Vanilla' folder to have the 40gb PAK file, while being in: ...\steamapps\common\Battlefleet Gothic Armada II\BattlefleetGothic2\Content\Paks
Send me a pm on discord if it's still causing trouble and I can troubleshoot it with you^
Do know how to add a new mod because Skalgrim has released a new version of his mod.
How do you add a new mod to the manager? Is there a way to convert PAK to PKG files?
Hey lucinator, to add a new mod just copy it's .pkg file into the Mod Managers mods folder at: ..\ModManager\Games\BFG2\Mods
PAK files are used for game resources and aren't a mod in their own right. The process will become a lot more simple with the next update!
How can I open / unzip PKG file?
To open them simply just drag and drop the .pkg file onto the 'PKGtool.exe' tool - it functions just like a zip file :)
Hey there, is there a way to use the Faction Editor with modded units, for example in conjunction with the Veritatem Imperialis mod?
Hey Petroschkaa, there will be soon with the new toolkit :)
It merges the faction editor with other modding programs.
