Manor Lords and its detailed city-building mechanics are almost here. While 14th century Franconia has influenced much of the game’s art direction, mods could add features and visual flourishes to an already stunning title. Here’s what you need to know about mod support in the game.

Will Manor Lords feature mods?

No, Manor Lords will not have mods at launch.

Will Manor Lords have mod support?

No, Manor Lords will not support mods at launch. Solo developer Slavic Magic has spent years refining and polishing the strategy title, due to be released this April. Working on a framework that would enable easy modding would take an enormous amount of time. Some players might prefer using this time to add multiplayer to Manor Lords over getting mod support.

Manor Lords dev assures players that mods are being considered

In an interview with YouTuber ResonantRTS, developer Slavic Magic notes “It’s something I’d love to add, but I haven’t played with it yet so I can’t confirm [mods].” They also mention that modders may have to download Unreal Engine 4 (UE4) to be able to mod Manor Lords. As we inch closer to the Manor Lords release date, things may have improved concerning how mods could be implemented.

Players have asked the dev the same question over on Reddit and have been met with a similar reply. The dev chose to prioritise the game’s development first before enhancing Manor Lords with a modding system. We’ll keep you updated on its mod support as we near the game’s launch.
