The doors to modding MADNESS: Project Nexus are open. Modding is still in beta, but enough is now supported to get the community started.
(If you have any questions or are having any issues, pop onto our Discord or the Workshop discussion page)

ADDING MODS TO THE GAME
Step 1: Subscribe to the Beta Branch on Steam (Modding is currently in beta).
Step 2-a (Workshop Only): Subscribe to mods from the Workshop.
Step 2-b (Local Files): Place the mod's entire folder into the Mods folder located inside the M:PN AppData folder (where your careers are located). Note that Workshop mods are not installed this way.
Step 3: Run the game and click the gear icon on the M:PN main menu screen to select which mods to enable.
