What is Vortex Installer?

Vortex Installer is a mod manager software that easily lets you easily install modifications on a number of different games including:

• Blade and Sorcery
• Skyrim
• Dark Souls
• Fallout
• Stardew Valley
• Grand Theft Auto
• The Sims
• Borderlands 2
• Beat Saber

It has close integration with the Nexus Mods website, which all of our best Blade and Sorcery mods and custom maps link to.

However, Vortex Installer only works on Windows, so Mac users MUST use the manual install method below. You’ll also need to use the manual install method if you download a modification from anywhere other than Nexus Mods.

With that out of the way, let’s show you how to install Blade and Sorcery mods and customize the game.

How to Install Blade and Sorcery Mods Using the Manual Method

In the step-by-step guide below, we’ll show you how to install Blade and Sorcery files using the manual installation process.

1. Go to the Nexus website and find a Blade and Sorcery mod you want to install. You can also look through our Best Blade and Sorcery mods guide.
2. When you’ve selected a mod, click on the Manual button. 
3. Scroll down and click Slow Download.
4. Find the zip file you just downloaded and open it. Inside, will be a folder that is the name of the mod.
5. Move the mod to your Blade and Sorcery Streaming Assets Folder. Not sure where this folder is located? See below!

Where is the Streaming Assets Folder Located?

All guides on installing mods manually call for the Streaming Assets folder. You can find your Streaming Assets folder in a few different ways:

If you have installed Blade and Sorcery via Steam, go to Steam and right-click on the B&S icon in your list of games. Then, select Properties. Go to the Local Files segment and then click on Browse Local Files. Go to the BladeAndSorcery_Data folder and then open the Streaming Assets folder.

On Windows, this folder is usually located at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Blade & Sorcery\BladeAndSorcery_Data\StreamingAssets\

On Mac, this folder is usually located at: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Blade & Sorcery/BladeAndSorcery_Data/StreamingAssets

Once you know the location of the folder, you can now manually install any mod you want for B&S. If your Blade and Sorcery mods are not working, make sure that you have located the StreamingAssets folder properly. If you are using the Vortex method, you can still make sure that Vortex has installed your mods into the right location.

How to Use Blade and Sorcery Mods in the Game

So now that you’ve loaded up a few mods, how do you actually use them? In any game map, check the room you spawn in. On a desk nearby will be a spawn book. If you walk up to it, you will see all of the mods you’ve installed. If you select one in the spawn book, it will tell you some details about the mod and allow you to spawn them in the game.

Once a new weapon or item is spawned, place it in your inventory and then you can use it later on in battle.
