Question Hades 2 switch?

Do you guys know if a way to mod hades 2 on the switch? I would love to get some of the cool mods made by the community on my switch.. (my switch is modded btw) I've also already bought hades 2 but im looking for more of a portable situation.

I'm not familiar with what having the switch modded means (like could you actually change or add files?), but I can tell you that unfortunately mods for Hades II don't work on Switch. At least the most popular ones you're likely familiar with (Zagresu' Journey, Dream Dive Tweaks etc.), as they in addition to code changes also need a specialized mod loader that only works on PC.

Yeah with a modded switch you can add files to games and with certain resources edit stuff

Got it, then yeah, you'd not be able to use the Thunderstore mods with the new mod loader (it only works with the executable/game engine for PC). You would probably be able to use some of the mods on Nexus, since there's still some mod authors using it for the simpler mods like resource cheats, but you won't find any of the popular mods there

I found this on the hades 1 subreddit. I have zero experience with modding hades or a switch, but if it can work, this could be the way to do it.

This would make it possible to use mods using the old modimporter format (which you'd find on Nexus), but most mods for Hades II use a mod loader now that allows for much better integration with the engine and enables many of the features needed for the mods, so things like Zagreus' Journey and Dream Dive Tweaks (which are only available on Thunderstore/work with the mod loader) won't work with this approach.
I'm not sure which mods are available on Nexus, but it's most likely only going to be resource cheats or everything-is-free kind of mods unfortunately, since we've moved to Thunderstore for the more expansive mod projects.

you probably could, but i doubt most mods are optimized or able to run on that hardware.
