Planned packages
A Windows installer and a portable ZIP. Portable refers to running without installation: application data still uses your Windows profile.
Release status · in development
Preparing for the first public release.
Modsmith is not available to download yet. We are working on the application and will publish the public build here when it is ready.
No release date has been announced. There is no preorder or paid early access. Smith’s cloud features and subscriptions will have their own launch.
Workflow preview
From your first mod to a deployed build.
The intended first-run flow. Final instructions will accompany the public build.
- 01
Run the installer
Setup installs into your user profile and starts the app. There is no folder to pick and no prompt for administrator rights.
- 02
Pick your game
Modsmith finds installations from Steam, GOG and Epic. If yours is somewhere else, point it at the folder.
- 03
Connect Nexus Mods
Optional. Paste a personal API key from your Nexus account settings and downloads from the site land in the app. You can also install archives by hand.
- 04
Install, deploy, play
Add mods, set the order, press Deploy. Roll back is next to it the whole time.
Planned requirements
What it needs from your machine.
- Operating system
- Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit
- Disk
- Space for the app, your mod library, downloaded archives and backups. The download size and storage requirements will be listed with the public build.
- Rights
- A normal Windows user account, with write access to your game and library folders. Modsmith is designed to run without elevation.
- Prerequisites
- None. The runtime and the archive engine ship inside. No .NET, Visual C++ or 7-Zip to install.
- Games
- Compatibility depends on the game, its version and the integration. Game Pass and Microsoft Store copies are outside the initial support scope. See the FAQ for the current development targets.
Updates
Public builds will use the official release feed. Update checks need internet access; installing an update will ask for confirmation. Release notes will describe changes and compatibility.
Uninstalling
Undo active deployments before removing the app. Rollback restores the originals it backed up, which may already include changes from other tools. Keep your library and backups until you have checked the result.
