3. Elden Ring Mods: www.nexusmods.com/eldenring

Additional Steps for Dark Souls III
1. The current DarkSoulsIII.exe will crash while loading with mods enabled. You will need to replace the DarkSoulsIII.exe in the \Steam\steamapps\common\DARK SOULS III\Game folder with the one found in the description of the Cinders mod here: www.nexusmods.com/darksouls3/...
You ONLY need the DarkSoulsIII.exe, not the full mod. The exe is in the description under a section labeled "Compatibility."
2. Use the following Launch Option: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%

If you're receiving an error about a "corrupted save" which prevents you from starting Elden Ring, do the following to resolve.
1. Go to Desktop mode and rename mod folder to mod-bak
2. Boot into Game mode and launch Elden Ring
3. Log into the game completely, then save and quit
4. Go back into Desktop mode and rename mod-bak to mod
5. Boot back into Game mode and enjoy your mods
The issue is you need to launch the game with the latest regulation.bin completely unmodified. After you've started the game and logged out, you're then free to use modified regulation.bin without issue. Hope this helps!
is there also another fix, this one didnt work for me ;(
@@xxyxxyyyxIf you're still trying to fix this, I had to go back into my 'properties' section of steam for the game and remove the launch options we altered, and then it allowed me to log into the game properly.
A straightforward and clear guide how to mod Elden Ring on Steam Deck that I may just be able to do it correctly now. Thank You
This guide is AMAZING!! thank you SOO much for making it! you explain things soo well and concisely , this needs much more views!! you're the only youtuber who made this guys crazily enough..
I was worried the mods wouldnt work well on the Deck but thank god they do! they even work similarly with Sekiro too with the Launch options for that dll file stuff
great video does it work the same for sekiro mods?
It took me 4 hours of trying other tutorials and finally, finally got the mods working the way i need. EVery other tutorial i found only ever showed how to do it on PC, but never on the actual Steam Deck. Thank you, now i can play ER casually, with Pausing and no Rune loss on death XD
Lame asf
amazing tutorial everything works for me after making sure that the mod file is where you said it should be. I followed another tutorial for pc and he didnt pull out the folder and that made all the difference
This guide was so helpful. I did it from start to finish entirely on my steam deck. Thanks!
The zipping unzipping process please help
@@androkairupan3033 Navigate to the downloads folder. Click on the file you downloaded, then right click the files of the mod you want to use, then click extract. You'll be given an option to extract said files to a location of your choice. This is how you unzip files on the steam deck.
it took me til the berserker armor mod for me to notice the hawk reference in the channel name, imediately followed by a griffith pfp, im smort.
great tutorial btw, very clear
Thank you so much for this! After too many hours trying to make it work i found your video and it saved my life!
Thank you bro got it to work the first time and now I'm the avatar in elden ring
Dude, thank you SO much for this! Honestly didn't expect to get it working the first try (first time modding a game), but it worked flawlessly!
I did the entire process on the Steam Deck, for anyone wondering if they need a PC or Windows etc. to do it.
You did everything on the steam deck so no transfer with USB ? Please lmk if you tweaked any of the instructions in the video have been trying for months and still no luck
Helpp how
Thank you so much !
This is a very clear and useful step by step tutorial for me, a newbie enter to the Elden Ring game recently.
Now I can change my female character into a pretty looking by using mods.
Great JOB!
Straight to the point, no bs around and vey cleared instruction . Subscribed !!!👍👍
Dude you just made my day this worked in linux mint . I want to make a video and give you all the credit thank you so freaking much.
This vid was a perfect starting point for me. I got the seemless and the randomizer working at the same time. But it took a lot of trial and error!
Teach me
Thanks man, this was clear and helpful.
Thanks for this. Still works perfect!
This is awesome and easy to follow, you should totally do a emulation vid if not already as I noticed yuzu :)
Works like a charm bro, thanks you so much, I'm hyped for my Guts playthrough!
It finally worked, thank you so much, honestly an immaculate guide. Everything in this video is easy to view, the speed is perfect - thank you so much
Thanks. Got some lower back problems so to be able to play a modded elden ring without having to sit by my chair is great.
Thank you thank you thank you!!! This was a wonderful and nice tutorial! I am really bad at FromSoftware games and only have a steam deck to play elden ring. I was able to load in an easy mode mod for myself using this tutorial! Now I can finally play without crying haha! I actually did all the steps of the tutorial directly on my deck and it still worked btw, for those who do not have a computer or drive to their disposal.
How please enlighten me
I tried to do the same but somehow the mod seems to not working at all or maybe I download the wrong version of the mod I think lol
Hey thanks for the tutorial, it is possible that you can share a video where it explains how to organize the mods after you download them? This is regarding the part where you said that they need to be in the corresponding folder: chr, menu, msg, etc.
Thank you so much! This worked an absolute treat :)
Thanks for the guide man, It worked great!
Worked like a charm! You're a Tarnished and a saint!
How did you get it to work? I did everything in the video but can’t get reforged to work
@@scottyboi2098 I just followed along with his video step by step. Every time he said 'next do this' I'd pause the video and do that step. Sorry that I can't elaborate anything else. Hope you got it working.
You’ve probably seen it a lot but thank you so much for making this video. As of 01/08/22, it worked just as shown, exactly. I don’t really want to mod the game other than just make it easier. I like to explore and conquer not die 15,000 times to finally kill that boss.
Agreed, I know god mode is kinda lame but I’m really enjoying exploring every crevice of the game with no fear of death. I beat the game without mods already and this 2nd time around I’m going into areas I avoided because it was just so difficult.
friend, did you save the easy mod in the ch folder or did you leave it outside?
@@ricardomartinezbenavidez3727 in the main folder. It has to replace the default regulation bin file. That’s for one mod only tho. If you do multiple that’s more complex
Manjaro Linux user, worked for me flawlessly. I'd bet this could just be a go-to guide for Linux users in general.
thanks hun it was crashin at first but now works. Finally can play convergence mod on the go
Can you help me I'm trying to use convergence but it won't work
Thanks for the video, you just gained a new subscriber
For those trying to get the 'Glorious Merchant' mod to work on their Steam deck, read below:
So basically the first half of this video he does certain steps on his PC, then switches over to the Steam Deck. But all you have to do is do everything he does on his PC on your steam deck (in desktop mode obviously) and move all the contents in the folder he titles in his video "ER Steam Deck" to your 'Game' folder when you "Browse Local Files" for Elden Ring in your Steam library. Can remove the "mod" folder though and put your Glorious Merchant file in the "Mods" folder instead.
I should mention though that the ModEngine version he tells you to download specifically for Steam Deck (CloudF's proton version in his video) didn't work. You need to use the normal one on Nexus (Mod Engine 2).
Launch game and enjoy.
I will attach screenshots to show what I mean in a second.
Ok. So at the end your 'ER Steam Deck' folder should look like this if you followed the video properly. But notice it doesn't have a mod folder anymore and instead i put the glorious merchant mod into the mods folder so theres 3 files in that folder now. So you drag those 6 files (or 5 if you don't want to do the text file) into your 'Game' folder I mentioned above. Change the Elden ring startup settings to the phrase in your text file (discussed in video) and you're good to go.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by start up settings
@@Ranger110 It's covered in the video at 3:55 and 8:35.
@@Ranger110 When you go to your properties for elden ring on steam, theres start up options. You paste what the video tells you in there.
Great tutorial thank you so much
thanks got Elden Ring Reforged and Seamless Coop working on mine and my brothers steam decks.
If I may, how did you get ERR to work ? I can't seem to get it to work on my steam deck. I have all the files (ERR ones) in the "mod" folder but when I launch, it doesn't seem to work in game ?
how did you get seamless coop working?
People seem to forget you can download mods and files on the deck itself
Can you do a guide specifically for the convergence mod? I can't get it to work.
You had me at the up too the mod overlay part. Like how do i know where to place what mods I've downloaded. For example the chr file and other files you have there. I have no clue what I'm doing with the mod I just downloaded lol. I'm sure if I had a modding background I would know what I was doing. This is my first trying to mod.
Just want to confirm the guide still works for the latest patch v1.12.3. Tried for Boss Resurrection mod.
I really need a video that'll explain how to install randomizer. Game just keep crashing on startup and I dunno what to do:(
Thank you so very much! I have wanted to play this game since it released, but my hands are impaired by arthritis. Without ‘easy mode’ it was impossible. Now I can play!!!
That's fantastic to hear! Have fun! You're in for a treat. 😁
friend, did you save the easy mod in the ch folder or did you leave it outside?
@@ricardomartinezbenavidez3727 truthfully, I have given up modding on Steam Deck. It’s just too fiddly. Next month I will switch to ROG Ally and modding can be relatively easy again.
I downloaded easymod, but it only has one folder and one icon, should I copy it to the mods folder?
Thanks so much for this
so i was playing it perfectly fine in desktop mode then I went to the normal mode and then when I tried to open it it wouldn't open and I tried it for desktop mode aswell and it did the same thing it isn't giving me an error message either does anyone know how to fix this issue
Hi I was wondering if you can do something similar for state of decay 2 on steam deck
Thanks a lot. Are you able to do another one for Skyrim in the future?
I got everything onto the steam deck but when I open the game it runs into an issue with lua.dll and modengine.dll is there a way to fix this?
Any idea if this guide would work for Sekiro too?
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I do have a question regarding how to revert back to the original game (when the dlc comes out, I wanna play it normally). Do we just have to delete all the additional files that we added or is there an easier way (like verifying steam files and reverting back to its original state)?
You can delete the files is you'd like. However, the absolute simplest way to revert to the default game is simply to remove the launch command.
Great tutorial! Was only able to getting working in desktop mode or was this intended, takes forever to load in gaming mode.
Not sure what I did, but ended up booting into gaming mode and launching
The mod contains only regulation.bin file, i put it inside the mod folder. No luck... Do i need to delete the original regulation.bin file inside 'Game' folder?
So do i need to extract the mod file i download from nexus to the mod file ? Or just let it be like that without need to extract it?
Quick question. Can I mod elden ring on my pc and play it on my steam deck? Is that possible or I’ll have to follow this video?
For some reason it doesn’t run when I try to start the game from desktop mode but it works on game mode!
Thank you so much for this guide!
im trying the reforged mod of the game.....the game starts correctly but i don't see any difference, in fact , at the first grace i should see diferent option but it seems like the base game, some help please? thanks
Umm i loaded elden and hav been met with a black screen with the elden ring cursor which i cannot move what shall i do?
Hi can i ask?im using steam deck 64gb version and 256gb sd card..is ther any tutorial for sd card users?
i know im late to this but im having an issue with loading mods, it loads the custom dlls, the ones in the mods folder, but all the actual *mods* that go in the mod folder dont seem to do anything, is this unusual?
Will this work for Dark Souls 2 as well? I'm trying to mod the SotFS version.
im confused about the installing mods part how do i install a mod like seamless co op
hey I followed your steps but I have a problem with a mod and it just has the regulation.bin file thats it what do I do?
Was working perfectly for around 20 hours up until yesterday. Only mod installed is the berserker armor. Not sure what broke it but I get to the white screen and then the game kicks me back to SteamOS. Tried doing a fresh install and reinstalling the mods but nothing seems to work. Anyone else had this issue and if so have you found a solution?
for me it says echo, when I press the start button on steam it says that the file echo was not found, make sure that you have entered the name correctly, what should I do
How about the Convergence Mod?
I get a crash and when the game plays with no command the mods don’t show what am I doing wron?
Thanks for your Video :) Dose it work with easy Mode mod, too?
Great Tutorial, worked like a charm. In saying that, will the mods/ game still function say if a DLC or new update drops?
Glad it worked out! In the event a new update drops everything should still work, but there might be some irregularities due to the regulation.bin getting updated. Mod creators usually update their mods when this happens, but if they don't you can update the regulation.bin yourself with DSAnimStudio.
Can someone help me, ive done everything as tild and get the “inappropriate activity detected” message, but the mods wont work
I got jt and have been playing for 25 hours with the easy mod, but now it doesn't work all of a sudden and I have no idea why
great video does it work the same for sekiro mods?
Do I need the elden mod loader for ds3? Or is there another mod loader for it?
Where do we put the downloaded files in the mod folder or the mods folder?
Following everything in this video, but I can only get .dll files to load. Changes to regulation.bin aren't working and neither are different image mods for me... I'm trying to use Map for Goblins on the Steam Deck and it just won't work, even with these steps.
Thank you so much
This is an amazing guide! unfortunately im running into a problem of when i connect my usb to my steam deck, nothing pops up and it makes it frustrating trying to copy files over. Is there a program that you use to help?
You don't have to format just plug usb in on desktop mode and it'll show. At least on the beta steam os
@@pinheadlarry7839 gotcha ill try it out later. Thanks!
I downloaded the garden of eyes mod but i dont see the regulator bin of the chr folder
It works so gud
I don’t see the “mods” folder only the “mod” folder, and everything shows differently than you?
There isn't a mods folder for mine so what do I do?
would this work with the convergence mod??
Do you think you could make a tutorial using DSMapStudio? I haven't figured out a way to get it to work on the Deck, and Yapped is no longer supported.
DSMapStudio will have to be used on a PC. I might put together a video showing how to add lines and upgrade the regulation.bin whenever there's an update. That's all most ppl will need.
Hey amazing guide but I do have a question what would I do if you want to go back to vanilla elden ring how do I unistall the mods so I can go online again?
Easiest way would be to remove the launch command. This would completely disable mods. If you wanted to then go online normally you would need to revert back to the original start_protected_game.exe.
@@Whitehawkx thank you so much!!! Wanted to know if I can swap back and forth lol
I assume this has been broken in an update? I followed this to the letter, trying to add a mod that changes the player character, but despite it being in the Parts folder, and doing everything this vid says, The game loads normally as if it didn't even detect any 'inappropriate activity' on the title screen.
Perfect tutorial, quick question, how to get back to the game without the mods on it ? And do u have to do all this again to play the mod u already installed or is it saved or something?
Simplest way to deactivate mods is to remove the launch command. Then if you want to enable them again just add the launch command back. You only have to reapply mods after an update, especially if the regulation.bin got updated. Otherwise you should be good.
So does this still work as instructed?
My game will not load after adding the long path in LAUNCH
How’re you doing? I followed everything you said and my games not loading. It would say preparing to launch then, it’ll stop and back to the play button. Please help
Same problem I'm currently having. Did you figure it out?
I can't thank you enough!
Between Cloudef's page and your video, I was able to get seamless co-op working with only 1 hiccup (which was really easily fixed).
However... how can we go back to vanilla ER? I'd like to play the DLC day 1, and not risk getting banned
Hey! You've probably forgotten but... How did you get it to work with Seamless Co-op?
@@tila-tsolihey man, still need help?
What would the name be for glorious merchant mod? Chr?
So far I pretty much have to always switch over to gaming mode to load the game, not sure why
Can this be done with the steamdeck in desktop mode only? I dont have another pc with windows :/
Hey man great tutorials, but can i know what is the average of fps during battle?
This depends entirely on your steam Deck settings rather than what mods you're using. There are some good videos out there that cover this. I don't know all my settings, but most are low with a few things like draw distance being high and textures being medium. I also have it locked to 30fps which it maintains rather well.
Idk if certain patches or updates were made since this tutorial but i did this and now elden ring wont launch at all
Hi! Your video was really helpful. There seems to be an error when I open the game it says Failed to load .lua.dll. There's not a lot of information online and I'm new at this. Do you know what would that mean ?
i did this but it will only run dll mods and not modengine2 mods. HELP!
I installed a performance boosting mod but I don’t know what files I need
Hello ! I tried your method but can't seem to make Elden ring work with both "*Seamless coop*" and "*Reforged*".
I have both "mod" and "mods" folders in my ER "game" folder. Did all the steps, set the launch config for steam...
I unzipped all "*ERR*" folders in the "mod" one while "*Seamless coop*" .dll files are in the "mods" folder.
Seamless coop *seems* to work as I am greeted with the "Welcome, and thanks for installing seamless coop etc...".
But my game froze when I tried to create a new character to test if seamless coop worked.
I can't really tell what I did wrong, thanks for taking the time to read.
In case you were still having this issue, I got it to work by manually setting a mod load order in mod_loader_config.ini:
[loadorder]
lua.dll = 1
modengine2.dll = 2
elden_ring_seamless_coop.dll = 3
Can you tell me how to add Seamless Coop with this process?
Does this still work? Is it any different for seamless coop?
Is this the same thing I would do if I wanna use the seamless co op mod?
You can use seamless co-op with this, but if that's all you need there's a different way to do it they you can find tutorials on.
Is it possible to use er patcher with this method
I didnt realize this but for some reason my "mod" folder dissapeared at some point. I couldnt get any mods to work becuase I was putting them in the mods folder.
I hate programming lol
After doing all this, my game keeps freezing. Any idea why?
Is it bad if I put Elden Ring on the SD card? It doesn't work at all.
